You should probably do both, in that if there's a non-web way to get  
at release (or if not, is eventually exposed) then the UI block won't  
stop the other mechanism.  Can you make the release mechanism enabled  
or disabled based on appropriate criteria, which would include a given  
project currently building, and let the button drive off of that state?
