That time is 2AM for me depending on the season, though I am straying off of my migratory patterns this year.

True. The "same calendar day" is a fuzzy notion anyway, and the other major platform seems to lag by a lot more if I am not mistaken.

I was just trying to make the schedule predictable, so that you and others do not have to say "if the tag was pushed early enough in the day for me". I'd actually prefer to tag a bit later in the day myself, so we can pick any time, or pick no time at all and have you and distro folks subscribed to push notification RSS, perhaps.
