So, people will probably notice the conspicuous lack of a branch yesterday. It
seems there's more issues outstanding than just failing tests and incomplete docs.

Let's take a step back. Given the outstanding items (TODO-1.6), what is a
realistic branch date? I think it's frustrating and counterproductive to keep
setting and ignoring branch dates, so let's set one that will hold *and live by
it*! I don't know what is realistic for people, 2 weeks out? A month? Next
week? Please chime in.

PS - If you've got things which need to get done before 1.6 branches, please add
them to TODO-1.6. Even if you're planning on doing them, it will help the rest
of us understand where we sit as we prepare to branch. Thanks.
