Okay, that's enough votes in favor of a later branch cut. Gabriel, go ahead and proceed with beta1 just like alpha3 then. No new branches, no APINO bumps, and continue cutting release branches from master for now. New branch date for 8.0 will be set to the Tuesday (September 15th) corresponding to the RC1 release (Sep 17th). Going forward, I think we can leave the question of branch date up to RMs, but if folks would like an RFC and a vote, it would take very little to convince me to draft one up. -Sara
