Hi all,

With the git changeover winding down what do people think about a timeline
for cutting the 8.x branch and making it the stable branch?

For us geoserver folks we would like to follow suite as soon as possible,
however we still have to go through our proposal process for a switch to
git. Which given that its mostly the same parties involved and mostly the
same work as the geotools switch i don't see that taking very long. I hope
to start on that proposal today, cribbing a lot of content from the
geotools proposal.

Even so having geoserver trunk work against geotools 8.x and not master for
a week or so shouldn't be that problematic. So unless folks think we should
wait for the geoserver proposal to go through i am inclined to cut the 8.x
branch now so i can start setting up the continuous integration machinery,
etc...

Anyways, i won't do anything just yet as i have some other tasks to do,
mostly updating the release scripts to work against the new git stuff,
sorting out the git commit id plugin stuff, and starting on the geoserver
side of things. However if people are into it i can cut 8.x tomorrow or
wait until next week.
