Indeed, there is no rush at all. However, with the Oracle servers over the years, we've had a number of problems, unexpected problems, such as a day or two ago.
Plus, the whole point of moving to Apache is to not be dependent on Oracle anymore. The more and the sooner we can prove that we're doing that, the better, in my humble opinion. We do have instructions for uploading to that location, will send them to the @private mailing list (or Emilian can do that) since they're usable by the PPMC only, which makes sense.
