I hope someone on the Dawn team is right now making the argument that they have the perfect mission for doing a controlled experiment on image release policy. Two target destinations, both asteroids, virtually all other variables the same. Why not do it this way at Vesta (since that decision has already been taken) and the other way at Ceres, with prompt release of all images? The relative merits of each could then be objectively assessed.
