[Bioc-devel] Missed deadline

[Gabe Becker]

Indeed, and to be a bit more explicit about Levi's point, you *can* publish
your package to bioconductor any time after the deadline, it will simply go
to the development repo for ~6 months, which, as he points out, may not be
a bad thing if it's not ready yet.
