Yes, that’s the intent. And over the years, “the recipe” has become rather a 
multi-course banquet meal with all of the steps and systems now involved in 
putting out a release. 

I should point out that PEP 101 describes the mechanics of putting out a 
release. It is by no means a complete description of the role that a release 
manager plays in our development process. Perhaps a brief description could be 
written up and added to the devguide. That would be of much more value, I 
think.
