I seriously doubt anyone cares about whether the publication is always "on time" (whatever that may be). If it's a bi-weekly publication it doesn't always have to go out on the same day, as long as you get it out in the general time period. I sometimes respond with corrections/additions but they never make it because it is released before my mail is sent. Often when I see the core mail I don't even bother reading it since by looking at the timestamp I can guess it's already been mailed. -Alec -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
