While I appreciate the desire to not hold up releases, sometimes just saying
we aim for a release at the end of the week or so on, with the RM having the
final say, gives people who are lazy by nature (guess who I mean) a nudge to
get off their behinds and do something (build/test/fix etc etc).

I'm +1 for Sander being RM and +1 for him rolling when he sees fit, just
giving another viewpoint :)
