Sounds good to me, but I have a counter proposal.

How about we push it all to master now?  That'd give it exposure on
both auto testers and on others' machines immediately.  We can always
address any additional comments as follow ups, of course.  The main
difference is that the series would be exposed to testing one
extra week.  Then if we see no fall out, we'd have a little more
confidence pushing to 7.9.
