After a few days, no one has disagreed with the proposal, so I guess
we can go ahead.

However, one issue does come up.  Someone has to be the release
manager and manage the branch to make sure it has the right stuff.
This could be easy, depending on how long it takes to do the release
and on how many changes go into the main development branch.

We need a volunteer.  Let it be known that I'm explicitly not
volunteering here. :-(  I'll help, of course, but I don't want to be
the release manager.

In any case, I probably can't do the branch until early next week, so
there should be time to coerce, er find, a volunteer.
