I guess I would say I trust Mark's mental picture better than any
formal document written down :-)

Not that I am opposed to writing things down, not at all, but
formalizing release procedures is a very hard process (we know,
we have to go through this ourselves all the time, and in fact
we generally rely on judgment from the release manager, informed
by discussion in arguable cases, rather than trying to write
down a formal set of criteria, and that has worked well for us).
