Lifted from a message from Paul on the NANOG list:
"[ is 8.2.2-P7 insecure? ] there are several major announcements planned
for monday. ISC wanted to get the new code on the street soon enough to 
give people a running head start at upgrading.  (the root name servers 
were all done last week, for example.)"

"immediately", or as close thereto as you can, gets my vote.
