Yes, I HAVE but no, I'm not. I really don't know what's different,
either. The announcement is dated Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:00:02 -0400
and at 13:25 -0500 (2.4 hours later) I see a new kernel, new kernel-devel,
updated kernel-doc, updated kernel-headers and 6 updated user
packages ready to go.

I regard the delay as "normal", current behavior to be an anomaly
