Karolin,

As we discussed on IRC and in private, I'm very keen to see Samba 4.1
released on schedule, but while we missed the date to do the branching
work, I don't feel a great need to rush into trying to catch up on it. 

As long as we still release on time, given the manner of patches that
are being made to master (ie, most stuff is pretty low-impact, or
important fixes), I don't see a major risk in delaying the branch and
rc1.  

I'm all for making the release manager's life as simple as possible, as
it is a big burden, so I'll support whatever you feel will make that
easiest. 

We can always revisit the branching if I get the sudden urge to rewrite
winbind or similar :-)
