I said:
Responses should be made by Tue 29 Oct 2019 08:27:02 PM UTC.

And I released at:
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 10:19:29 +0100

So really, I was a few minutes late :)

I generally just wait for the big testers to come back with responses.
If I have all of them looking good, I often times release early
depending on what is happening with my travel and other things. But
this time, I actually took the whole time I said I would.

thanks,
