I think I read something in the message I replied to that wasn't actually stated. I hate it when I don't read things closely enough. I meant to address the idea of making both branch_7x and branch_7_0 at the same time, whenever the branching happens. Somehow I came up with the idea that the gist of the discussion included making the branches now, which I can see is not the case. My point, which I think applies equally to branch_7x, is to wait as long as practical before creating a branch, so that there is as little backporting as we can manage, particularly minimizing the amount of time that we have more than two branches being actively changed.
