We had to respin FC1 today for a non-technical issue (that's all I can say, sorry), which resets the clock for release. We have to start over again with the export process, and I don't think they work weekends, so we have to slip until after we hear back from them and then sync to mirrors. Wednesday the 5th is slightly possible, a day later more likely.
We did at least pull in a few technical fixes as well whil we were at it.
Sorry about that,

This is a bit "cryptic".
I assume that you mean that you need to get "export approval" dealing with encryption stuff, that the process needed to restart, and that "they" (the US Government) do not work weekends.

Your reading skills are much better than mine. My first thought was: heck!, service nfs restart doesn't take that long to run, and I've certainly run it on weekends before

Heh. There are other governments also, to deal with, and other reasons why exports can be a problem, though with computers cryptography is the most common. "Export Regulations" is what the Shipping Department in many companies spends almost all its time worrying about.
