I understand the problem here, but we push updates once a day and
today's push is already finished. The problem with running another
push just before starting the EOL process is that update pushes take
some time and we cannot start the EOL process until they are finished
and the push might fail which delays the EOL process even further. EOL
process takes some time and we cannot delay it to the next day and
also even when going through the EOL process, updates can go to stable
and we cannot simply keep pushing them.

Sorry for the trouble this has caused, but I am not sure if there is
an easy way to fix this issue.
