Branching sooner means stabilizing sooner means releasing and deploying sooner. I don't think there's anything major we want to add to 1.17, right? It's a pretty big release already.

Branching would reduce that effect (not eliminate it, because we'd still pull fixes in for stabilization). In addition to that, if we'd have a few paid devs devoting their time to doing review and other things needed to get 1.17 into shape (WMF-employed reviewers are mostly focusing on their assigned projects now AFAICT) I think we can definitely finish before March.
