If we are now at a Feature freeze, we should create a release/nb9 branch to 
make it clear, no new Features there and some documentation and so on. 
Everything else, so other PRs can still be handled in develop.

Yup, makes sense to me, Neil. We need to make these things explicit and
indeed will take a look at the related NetBeans processes, though I agree
however we’re looking at it we are now at a stage of feature freeze and
should incorporate bug fixes only, ideally as part of the NetCAT phase post
Beta — making it all the more urgent that everyone tries out the Beta
artifact and specifies their vote on it in the vote thread.
