I don't want to start a flame-fest, but perhaps we could reconsider the 
release-branching criteria.

As Richard indicated, some (including me) might prefer delaying the 
branch until we are much closer to the release.  It doesn't seem ideal 
to re-live the 4.2 schedule ad infinitum.

As for what the actual date for release should be, I have no preference.
