East coast time seems to have the advantage of most of Europe still being
awake as well the west coast soon to wake up. This covers a lot of the
postgresql user base, the big question is would you want AU/JP and that
region to release before 9 AM EST or after ?

(Course this assumes you want an official release time in one time zone,
rather than a rolling release time of say 9AM wherever folks are locally)
