For what it's worth, I'd say there a benefit to branching as late as
possible.  If there aren't any items waiting to be committed to the
upcoming 1.9 tree, then the longer we can continue working (toward the
release) on the main branch, the fewer commits will have to be applied
to two branches.

(Oh, and I still have at least one outstanding bit that needs to go
into 1.7.  I need to add the slib changes.  I hope to get to that
later today or sometime tomorrow.)
