IMHO: No. IMHO the definition of a release so that "having a release"  
makes any sense is that it will be available for all platforms. There  
might be delays of 1-2 days until binaries are finished, but this is  
part of the release process itself and the announcement would wait  
until all binaries are in place. I'm not sure how this currently works  
w.r.t. the Mac releases, but all platforms available should be the goal.
