1.7.0 blocking issues / branching

Our 1.7.0 blocking issues collection currently looks like so:

3875 Serf SEGV in pool handling on error
3888 ra_serf unbound memory usage on checkout/export/update
3899 Auto-resolve conflicts at wc-wc copy/move destination
3915 upgrade should detect checksum mismatch
3917 can't checkout from s.a.o with serf 0.7.2
3920 wq item refers to file that does not exist

Six (6) issues. That's it.

Three of those (3875, 3888, and 3917) are Serf-related.

Issue 3899 is not, in my opinion, convincingly blocker-worthy, but...

That leaves 3915 (which could be as easy as "just fail the upgrade") and the
newly opened 3920.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we're approaching a branchable point, and
just wanted to give a heads-up that the very second that I notice that there
remain zero or Serf-only issues into the 1.7.0 milestones, I will -- in
accordance with sentiments formerly expressed by others among us -- formally
propose that we branch this release.

If anybody is sitting on blocking issues which are being tracked solely in
their heads, it's time to put them into the tracker. Please do not delay.

If anybody (ahem, Stefan Küng) is sitting on API improvements or
requirements tracked solely in their heads, it's time to put them into the
tracker. Please do not delay.

Finally, if anybody is planning to submit code changes that are *not*
directly aimed at getting 1.7.0 out the door, I beg of you to please
carefully consider if now is the best time for those changes, or if it
wouldn't be wiser (and more respectful of the community's overall desire to
see this release come to a conclusion) to defer until the trunk becomes
"1.8.0-dev".
