Benjamin, What about the case where the maintainer himself has already checked in packaging for x86_64 and 10.6 into unstable. Consider... http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/fftw3.info?view=log for example. It is difficult to see the advantage of waiting a week for something that has already been committed by the maintainer.
