Yes, I agree with that. In the example I used, things like master poms which are infrastructure, or a minor site updates, or fixing 'moved' repositories which wouldn't let things build. Those were our only real exceptions.
Most changes we give the 72 hours for because if it's deserving of a release, it's deserving of letting people spend some time reviewing it. In general I think the review process strengthen's the release. It's an important step in 90% of the cases. And I agree too that being clear about deadlines is important.
