We'd love to see your plan for producing builds for all platforms (keep in mind, several of our platforms take almost a week to build!), packages for all platforms (you thought the build took a while, eh?), mastering and pressing the CDs (you have 650M of data. Fill it with the BEST and MOST USEFUL packages for each platform on a CD, in an internally consistant way (i.e., no missing dependancies)), sticking them in cases, and shipping them out, all in a 24 hours after tagging the tree. Not Easy. There's lots of other things that go into creating the release... I don't think you have thought out your question overly carefully. :) Nick.
