You do realize that this would mean that the people who do our releases would 
have to sit the full day in front of their computer?

A Gear release happens once a month. I really don't think that's a big 
problem. (Yes, there's also Plasma, but I think that's a lot less projects, 
and Frameworks.) Just make sure that you don't plan a release of a non-Gear 
project around the release date of Gear (or Plasma or Frameworks). Marketing-
wise it's anyway better to avoid such a collision.
