When do you want to do the new base release?

I think the timeline might be something like this ...

monday-wednesday: last chance to deprecate anything we might be  
wanting to change in the next release cycle
thursday: merge trunk into stable branch, adjust version numbers to  
1.16.0 (stable) and 1.17.0 (unstable/trunk)
friday: update release notes and make release

Reasonable?
