I'm very sympathetic to syncing upstream stabilization with internal processes; that said, branching so soon after New Year's Day (which I'd guess is celebrated essentially everywhere) seems like not such a great idea. This is not a strong objection, more of an observation. Can I make a counter-offer of Monday, 8 January? If that's a real problem, then we can live with 3 January. --paulr > > While I'm hesitant to change the schedule because I think it's > important that it's predictable, there is a benefit of having large > users "in sync" with the upstream release branch, as that means more > people testing the same code. > > I will be out of the office the first weeks of January (and I'm > guessing other members of the community might be too), so while I > could get the branch started on the 3rd, it would be a kind of > "slow-start" of the process, but still allow those who want to start > testing and nominating merges to do so. > > Ultimately, it comes down to what the community prefers.
