Of course it is.  Why have a legal review if it never can block a
source release?

As Bruce said, you have to to prepare the source code release as part
of the release process for the binaries.

There have been cases where the FSF has approved a delay in publishing
source code. The FSFE has entered a strange licensing deal with Bacula
Systems.  But the gist is that you need an additional agreement, there
is an expectation that you can't do it with the plain GPL (although
counsel to various companies in the Android sphere thinks it's okay).
