I have no issues with doing that.

What I can do, so as to not put of people submitting patches in the
meantime, is to continue test/review/countdown and just not go through
to the push stage until the 8th (Wednesday) review. So things sit on
'countdown' until then.

It may mean patches get back-logged but I don't think that it will be
that much of a problem.
