Time to create 4.6 branch ?
Guys,
As I know, 4.6 will be close to RC. I am wondering if it is time to create
4.6 branch, so that we can add the upgrade path to next version and new
features/improvements can be merged into master branch (to keep a clean 4.6
branch).
By the way, which is the new version? 4.7 or 5.0 ?

There indeed will be a 4.6 branch once 4.6RC passes and 4.6.0 is released. From this branch we will create 4.6.x releases.
The process is documented here:

Wei might have a point, however:
1-We still have blockers, and one is unassigned, the others are on Wilder’s plate. So there is still work to get done on the blockers and work to help Wilder.
2-If you don’t work on blockers you can start testing master as if it was RC and getting ready to vote, you might uncover other blockers
3-We have tons of PR that need reviews, and issues that need triage. So taking bit of time to look at JIRA and clean up will be a great bonus to the project.
4-if you still don’t know what to do :) you can keep working on your new features for 4.7 and make sure they are rebased, with unit tests and new marvin tests to get ready to merge.
5-if you still don’t know what to do, you might help with release notes and documentation to be ready for 4.6 release.
6-if all that is unexciting you can prepare the upgrade path. How we do it is up for grabs. I think there will be a 4.6 branch once the RC passes.

Dear Wei.
In the new release process we are releasing directly from master. So no 4.6
branch will be created.
As we are releasing directly from master, it is now frozen till release.
