If I thought so, then I wouldn't have posted it, eh? :-) My point was to
show a real-life example showing how much the system can screw up when
everybody operates on a hair trigger; delays of a few days are a chance
to correct errors instead of compounding them. Note that some people
(Matthew Woodcroft most recently) are also proposing entirely scrubbing
revisions that are deemed copyvios, which would make images unrecoverable.
Ironically, many of my stamp scans are probably PD, but I haven't been
able to find a clear statement of the stamps' legal status, so I'm
conservative and assume they're fully copyrighted.
