There is no way that 35 people can be prepared and cleared for promotion within 16 days, due to CARB boards, Performance Analysis Section holdups (chronic sicks, CCRBs), college credits (education tracking unit sometimes doesn't have them on file and then you have to chase down transcripts), pending charges, etc. Not to mention people need to be notified for IDs and they may be on vacation. Even if the list came out today (which I doubt it will because there is no credible evidence to support it) the puzzle palace would have to scramble to prepare 35 people in 16 days. It's impossible. If 35 are going in on the 29th, they will be the next 35 from the old list who have already had all of the above issues cleared up in advance.
Yes people get passed over here and there, but given the speed at which this job moves, there is no way that a new list can start promotions within a half a month of being released.
