I'd be happy with about two weeks: push 'beta' tarballs in the first week, 'release candidates' in the second week.
In the meantime, we should be running 1.18 on live servers, with a maximum of a week lag from trunk, and preferably much less. Ongoing work on trunk should always be keeping stability in mind, and code review should concentrate on ensuring that code is being actively tested and used.
Amen to this, the rest of your post, and your previous post (release 1.17 ASAP). You're formulating my opinions better than I could; cheesy-sounding but true :P
