I agree we shouldn't cut an rc before Hive ships. In my experience there's usually a week or two of bug fixing between branching and rolling an rc. That's what we can parallelize. If we're confident we can roll an rc immediately after branching then I'm fine with waiting to branch. But I do not share this confidence.
