I think there really ought to be a guarantee that everything queued before
the deadline actually gets pushed in one last push, as opposed to saying
"sorry, the last push was actually hours earlier than the official deadline,
you're screwed forever because we will never do a push again for that
release".
With a properly implemented deadline, the Updates System would close its
doors at a well-defined time prior to a last push. Anything that has entered
the "pending -> stable" queue early enough, would be pushed. Everything else
would be locked and would not be able to change state from testing to stable,
for example.
