I'm +1 on doing an 0.9.0 release, but would also like to suggest that we put together a list of 0.9.0 blockers before cutting the release branch. In the past we have frequently underestimated the amount of work required to get trunk into a releasable state, with the consequence that we up wasting time doing a lot of backports from trunk to the release branch. It would be great if we could avoid all of that this time around.
