I tend to agree with this, though I am also of the opinion that it'd
be better to get a date out there earlier rather than later.  There's a
number of hackers at PGConf.US who are trying their best to review
patches and keep things moving while also giving talks and being
involved in the conference.  There's at least a couple of patches which
I can think of off-hand that I'd like to continue working through the
process to get them committed and only require another day or so of
effort, but finding that time in-between activities at the conference,
while possible, isn't ideal.

Thanks!
