 http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=README.RELEASE_PROCESS
 currently reads

   "Ensure that Windows builds will work before packaging"

 in the "General notes and tips" section and then later in the
 "Rolling a stable release" section

   "Once the release has been tagged, contact the PHP Windows
   development team (internals-win@lists.php.net) so that Windows
   binaries can be created."

 I do not think that this means that the release of the source
 tarball must wait for the availability of the Windows binaries.
 In fact, step 2g of "Getting the stable release announced" explains
 what to do when the Windows binaries are not available at the time
 of release.

 Please do not get me wrong: I appreciate what Microsoft in general
 and you, Anatol, as well as Pierre in particular have done for PHP.
 But no vendor -- neither Microsoft nor Red Hat nor whoever else
 rolls binary distributions of PHP -- should have the power to delay
 a release in my opinion.
