Making a branch doesn't commit us to a release, it doesn't even force
anybody to use the branch. It just means the current state of C++ is
stored away safely so I can move on trunk while the Java issues are
resolved. As long as the Java 0-9 isn't merged it'll be trivial to
merge any Java trunk work done in the next 5-7 days to the M2 branch as
there'll be no changes on it.
Suggestion of
early next week was as much to allow the normal voting window as anything
else...
having said that, your ordering looks sensible.
If it helps peoples voting sensibilities I can make a branch called
"AlansPre09Branch" and we can rename it M2 when all the voting is done.
