do you have any idea how much effort it would take to get 100 or more mirror operators to make the files available all at once?
and making the change on the master ftp server isn't an option either, as many people use various methods of mirroring, from something as simple as just a ftp mirror script, to rsync, and probably others.

All the code is readily available on the cvsup servers? Whats the big deal about a release?

Good code takes time, and will come if it's not rushed.
