Hi Colin,

That behaviour is inherited from the existing myapps (originally commercial
only) where, from memory, the reason was that companies want to have their
apps ready to publish, but then only publish them on a specific day. In
reality, I think that's very much the minority of use-cases... especially
now that the focus isn't commercial apps. I think we could default to
publishing the app as soon as it's approved - perhaps with an option (when
submitting for review).

Martin?
