Personally, I always recommend deploying from the latest release branch.
Binary releases based on a branch are infrequent, while bug fix commits
in the branch are frequent.

Shouldn't there at least be a list of blocking tickets so people know
what needs to be done?
How do committers actually know which bugs are in need of fixing now and
which ones can wait?
Does the community get any visibility into the project progress?
It would seem to important to know what bugs are going to be fixed in
the 13.07.01 and which ones are deferred to the next maintenance release
and which ones are only going to be added in the 2014 or 2015 major
release.
I would be interested in hearing from the community how people who are
making a living with OfBiz or are using it to run their business, deal
with this process.
Does it actually cause any anxiety or am I just concerned about
something that makes no difference.

There is no commitment on dates, the dates on the website are just
tentative dates. We do not follow a Beta/RC1/RC2 cycle, nor we have a
predefined list of planned tickets to be resolved.
However I think it is good time to prepare for the publication of the
new release, since the stabilization phase has been pretty long already.
What other think? I can prepare the release artifacts and start a vote
in a few days if we are all ok.

I am new here but since I started to get active Release 13.07 has
missed 2 published release dates.
I have also found out that some people are already using it in
production environment and are starting to worry about changes to
13.07 data structures and functionality that are being suggested as
part of "bug fixes" to 13.07 as part of the release.
Beta, RC1, RC2 planned?
Is there a list of tasks that need to be done to release the first
13.07 release which is currently scheduled for next week?
Have they been assigned and accepted?
When will they be completed?
There seems to be a lot of spare energy in the group at the moment
and it would be good to channel it into getting the release done.
Are there documentation or other non-coding tasks that need to be
finished?
I understand that this is an open source project with volunteers but
there still needs to be some commitment to dates.
They may slip but it should be absolutely clear why they slipped and
a commitment from the PMC to see that the revised dates are met once
the PMC has published the new dates.
