1) Right now would still be too late with the 10 day transition in
   effect.
2) Unless I'm mistaken, a build failure on release architectures is only
   a blocker if it previously built on that architecture. At least the
   testing excuses list appears to only mention age < 10 days to block
   transition.

Either way, an upload right now would be no help at best.
