It's a pretty big release already. > Branching as soon as possible would be nice. I think that there are no very large projects holding this up. But, if we branch too soon, and if we take too long at releasing, we would inevitably run again in a large review backlog on trunk. Therefore when we branch we should be certain that their are no big projects coming up in between that would draw a lot of people from working on the release.
I would prefer branching as soon as possible. Is there a reason too not just branch *right now*?

It worries me a bit that I see certain other projects being developed and deployed, while general code review should be the top priority now.
