Todays 16.2.11 release shows the exact issue I described above ....
1) 16.2.11 packages are already available via e.g.

2) release notes not yet merged:
(https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/49839), thus

3) No announcement like

I believe the upload of a new release to the repo
prior to the
announcement happens quite regularly - it might just be due to the
technical process of releasing.
But I agree it would be nice to have a more "bit flip" approach to
new releases in the repo and not have the packages appear as updates
prior to the announcement and final release and update notes.
By my observations
sometimes there are packages available on the
download servers via the "last stable" folders such as
https://download.ceph.com/debian-quincy/ quite some time before the
announcement of a release is out.
I know it's hard to time this right with mirrors requiring some time
to sync files, but would be nice to not see the packages or have
people install them before there are the release notes and potential
pointers to changes out.
