>From my understanding, there's not really a 'plan' but some intention to
release a 6.7 at some time if enough people need it, right? In that case I
wouldn't hold back anything for a 6x line release and cut the 7x, and 7.0
branches around, but not before the coming weekend. I will send out an
email a day before cutting the branch, as well as once the branch is in
place.

If anyone has any objections to that, do let me know.

Once that happens, we'd have a feature freeze on the 7.0 branch but we can
take our time to iron out the bugs.

@Alan: Thanks for informing. I'll make sure that LUCENE-7877 is committed
before I cut the branch. I have added the right fixVersion to the issue.
