Is what you are going to release already available to test?   In
general, it's necessary to do the update from an RC tarball and check
that nothing has gone wrong since the last release.    I sometimes make
the tarballs myself, but it also seems that the tarball process is not
100% scripted and repeatable - but I could well be wrong about that,
always or now.

If you are talking about making changes and you don't have a RC yet,
then no, that's not ok.  It is never ok to have a flurry of changes and
push the release button, as that's a recipe for adding bugs during the
changes and releasing those bugs.  So please make the changes and get
what you think is ready, and then publish an RC and give people several
days.
