[mirror-admin] Release lead time

[Lior Kaplan]

What about having the files in a hidden directory as ubuntu does, or hard
linking the files from the development tree to save sync bandwidth ?

I guess a 48-72 hours window would be the best, but the important thing is
to have most of the files before hand and only sync the (reletivlly small)
difference of the official release.
