I agree. Essentially we should create the branch when we have the
feeling "well, what's in master right now makes for a good release
candidate".
I disagree on the "feeling" thing. That's the way it's been done all
along and it does not prove to be very reliable. Schedules may become
delayed for any number of reasons but we should make a best effort to
stick to them as close as possible. I suggest that if we merely branch
when we feel like it then the schedule will never be adhered to and we
will slowly degrade back to our original state.
Fine, too, so long as you realize it's a lot more work for you :o).
