PDB seem to take about a week to release coordinates that are HPUB (hold
for publication) from when we ask them to. Sometimes they drop the
ball, but mostly this is what we see. If I ask them to release the
coordinates early to get around this lag, I can largely guarantee that
I'll forget to update the JRNL reference.
I believe that the lead time is unnecessarily long. Perhaps one day
might be more reasonable.
