This all sounds completely reasonable to me.  Thanks for letting us know.

At some point during the release cycle I imagine you'll want to start using
the SRU process anyway instead of pushing into release, so that you have the
added flexibility and protection of -updates in the event of regressions.  I
assume you will let us know when you get to that point, if you need to do
any uploads of juju-core in this window before the release.
