Are we sure it's out?

Yes, it is. There's always a delay from having Rosetta 2 installed for whatever reason, and then Apple sends the update to Macs with Rosetta 2 usually an hour or two later.
 
They don't seem to have images live for all Macs yet. My MBA M3 got it (coming from 26.4 RC) but my Mac Studio M2 Max doesn't see anything yet (also on 26.4 RC)

MacOS is always the last one to show up for some reason. Stay strong people!
Not only that, it usually downloads fast for the first few minutes, then drops to a crawl, like literally displays 10+ hours left. It's done that for me every 26.x update. i have to cancel, and it restarts, and every time it gets a bit farther.
 
Hm.. nothing here yet with 26.3.1 (a).

They rolling it out in waves. Maybe the most vunerable systems getting it first? So 26.3.1 and 26.4 RC later?
 
Available if you have 26.3.1 but not showing if you have 26.3.1 (a).
EDIT: at 2pm eastern (one hour after the release, the 26.4 update appeared on both my Intel and M1 machines running 26.3.1 (a).

Yep, same here. Not seeing it with 26.3.1 (a) installed. And interestingly, contrary to the prefs, it fails if you try to remove the 26.3.1 (a) update.

The Tahoe releases for Apple Silicon are really slow to push out after the notification. Can take nearly 2 hours some times.

I assume the build process / CDN push is different than iOS and the Intel releases of macOS as they both hit almost immediately.
