FWIW I believe the reason is that the tarballs are not released, they are just being assembled for release. A fine line I suppose. Anyway technically you should wait for the release announcement, but since the tarballs won't change much you can go ahead and have the packaging ready based on the pre-release. That is how I understand it... Havoc
