I can think of one reason.

I have just tried to install (via http) using some UK/IE mirrors that I
know of, and none of them are completely upto date it would appear.

One of the problems with the previous testing releases was the mirrors
being out of date and it being a challenge just to find the right mirror
to use.

I would have thought waiting almost a week after the full release would
have resulted in me avoiding these problems but apparently not.
