I like to approach the idea in reverse:

1 - What is preventing us from releasing today?
2- Are these really worth holding up the release?
3 - What can we do today so that the issues in #1 are gone tomorrow?

I too am unsure what a release really means when people can get the code 
any time that they want and we could declare a release whenever and as 
often as we want.
