Well, I think a certain amount of disrespect for temporal prescriptions

things monotonically more awesome, I don't think anyone would object :)
The positive effect of this cyclic rhythm is that it allows us to

being, don't mess up Ludovic's expectations of a great release with a
half-baked push :)
