I never spoke about random immediate releases. All I said is that we should branch early, then give some time for people before the RC is cut. Branching early, I think, puts less risk that something random will get in. If you need to port something to the branch, you know it's the release branch.

Let's differentiate between feature-freeze and bug-fix freeze. IMO, we should cut a branch_45 now, or as early as the RM intends to start working on the release. At that point, no new features should go into 4.5 anymore. If an issue hasn't been committed until then, I see no reason for it to get
