Are we going to have some target for branching? Like less than 100 regressions?
I think it worked pretty well for 3.4 which is now very stable. On the
contrary, 3.3 was branched way too early IMO, and I know Gaby agrees here.

If we are going to have a limit, it is better to know earlier than later, so
people can do their planning. There are ~195 regressions right now.
