Yeah. Traditionally we've waited till the start of the next commitfest
(which I'm assuming is July 1, for lack of an Ottawa dev meeting to decide
differently). But it seems like things are slow enough that perhaps
we could branch earlier, like June 1, and give the committers a chance
to deal with some of their own stuff before starting the CF.
This is the wrong thread to be debating that in, though. Also I wonder
if this is really RMT turf?
