Hi, Wenchen. I'd not delay the branch cut. We had better stick to our plan and those week days to stablize branch-4.0.
If you are busy, I'm going to cut the branch on schedule (2015-01-15) and help the on-going PR reviews. As you mentioned, we don't block feature backportings. There is no reason to break the community schedule.
