I assumed that creation of installer binaries for a release depends on
having the release manager or a lieutenant have access to the given
platform (Windows, OS/X) and tools,  For instance, the RM or lieutenant
might only have access to such a platform part-time (e.g., only while at
work, or only at home).  In such a case, providing additional hardware
could expedite creation of the binaries.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood the issue.
