OK. Good to know. In case you're not familiar with the process,
once the branch is cut, you'll need one of the Global Maintainers,
typically the maintainer who reviews your patch, to OK it for
the branch. We would normally only do that if it makes sense.
In particular, we want to make sure that there is very little chance
the branch's stability might be impacted.
In the meantime, we're not ready for the branch, yet, but I will
try to push for it to be created by end of this month.
