Absolutely.

There are a number of patches that people would like to get in, and
I won't create the branch until I have at least given those a chance
to get in. Using the branch to help us decide which changes we want
to focus is good, but I don't want people to feel pressured into
rush them and/or cutting corners.  The calendar is only a reference
for us, but other than that, we only create the branch when we feel
this is a good time.
