Timezones suck :) I need to balance the importance of the update with
the additional work the release team will need to carry to accept it
(so read another email from someone for a not-so-breaking-the-world
update, read the diff, understand it, comment it, reply - it seems few
steps, but multiply for all the possible minor updates to debian
packages and you'll see) so I think better leave time to deal with the
other problems they already have at hand without extra burden.

Oh don't! there's nothing to be sorry about, it's life and constraints
- we're still have a very stable mpl in wheezy, even if the version
has a RC in it :)

It certainly was outside you control Sandro. You gave us ample warning and reminders. I misinterpreted the June 30th freeze date to mean we needed to get it in by that date, but maybe it meant before, or maybe at some earlier time today. 
In any care, I apologize for missing the deadline and for the trouble.
