IMO (and seems to be confirmed by the voting guide [1], "Votes on
Package Releases") what is important here is not a single -1 (a
release is a majority vote, and can not be vetoed), but a consensus,
formal or informal, to suspend the release vote to address a serious
technical issue. So delaying the release, unlike publishing it, is
more about a consensus than formality (unless it becomes contentious,
which I hope it doesn't), as the former has no ASF and contributor
related legal consequences, while the later does.
