Bah, sorry, I missed that due to some excessive mail filtering,
My apologies.

[While I support and appreciate all the efforts that that go into
the adt infrastructure, things seem awfully... brittle. Is there
something the community can do to make them a more reliable indicator
of regressions?]

Operationally, "you" (archive admins) can go ahead and release them
to the security pocket at your convenience and I'll issue the USNs
afterward. We don't want to release the USN information until the
packages are available to users in the security pocket. That said, I
need to end my day and won't be able to issue the USNs for a few hours.
So again, please release them at the archive admin team's convenience.

Thanks!
