Well, we made an exception for 7.4 which has been branched half a year earlier[1] – and I don't think that hurt anybody. :) Delaying the PHP-8.0 branch makes sense to, so we all can focus on the new major version (there's certainly of lot of small issue to be improved, and one or three bugs to be fixed). >> Due to our git workflow, creating a branch now means that every single >> commit to PHP 8.0 will also require a merge into master.

Well, but waiting for a few weeks shouldn't be an issue either, I supposed. > Do others feel strongly one way or the other? No strong feelings either way, but I'm in favor of delaying the branching.
