To answer myself "no". To clarify for others there are quite a lot of things that have to happen at the "start" of a release, but the ones documented here are the ones necessary to happen at the time the version number gets incremented. Other changes can be done more "lazily" after that is done - for example, mapage updates, hotspot obsoleted/expired flag updates, and related test changes.
