I don't know about doing this.  The ASF has reasons for the 72 hr vote and
curbing it all the
time is not not something I would do.  I know I suggested it for a specific
vote as an exception
however I don't feel comfortable with it as the general case.

I don't think this is because of a client or server thing either. Legalities
are more important than
even if the release is totally broken.  I'd rather have a completely broken
server/studio release
than have a perfect one out without the proper legal files in place or with
a bundled LGPL'd jar.
