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. -- Joel
