I'm prefer to add a new milestone of 'day before release' and put it
there. I think after the 'go' some folks who would be helpful in making
the announcement have more time to devote to it. Also, it would seem sad
to me to be 'go' except for an announcement, and slip a week.
It is sad. But it is also something we should want. Shipping bits without telling people how to consume them (docs) or that they exist (release announcements) is essentially not shipping. We need docs and release notes to block releases. They are an integral part of attracting users and contributors.
