This is what I groked from Mark's original message -- get ready to cut
an RC by mid-October (which implies a branch). If we have a lot messy
outstanding issues remaining at this time, there's no point in cutting
an RC, and thus no point in branching (due to porting overhead,
testing benefits, etc.).

So, as Greg said, the issue list defines the RC point. And as Mark
suggested, let's shoot to knock all the issues off that list by
mid-October.
