I see no harm in this - it is just a tarball on a website somewhere and a news item. I suggest you draft your news item so that it is bikeshed with time to spare, then you can just substitute your intended URL inside at the last minute, and then take the snapshot. I don't think you need to worry about getting it down to the commit - just grab a snapshot reasonably close to the profile change. Actually, I can't really think of a practical reason not to just do the news/snapshot now. Nobody will see the news until they do an emerge --sync, and if they do an emerge --sync a year from now it makes little difference that the snapshot is an extra two weeks out of date or whatever. Then there is nothing to coordinate. Rich
