Yes.  What I mean is that there is a point starting RIGHT NOW
when committers should be pushing NOTHING TO STAGING.

Because I am about to branch staging, and any committer who pushes now
doen't know whether the commits they push are going to end up in 4.5
or not.

allow at least 48h and probably more for possible infrastructure
