Right, there are many things I want to change to the current workflows
to simplify and streamline them (updates to apps, for example, is
insane). We will get to that soon.
We'll allow the developer to choose instead upfront if they want to
publish directly or hold off. As Michael points out, this is currently
just re-using what we have and improving on top, so not by design but
my inheritance. Don't let that stop you from pointing these things out
though, it's very useful for us to get all this feedback early.
