Does it make sense to branch now 1.9 and work on bugs only there then? I
understand that would duplicate the effort of the RM, but on the other hand we
could still dropping code on master. Honestly, I don't have a strong
opinion.

For 1.10 I'd like to discuss again the schedule time. Two months for
bugfixing and more 20 days until the release data sounds like we're inhibiting
a more rapid development. It's too much time. Or maybe we have to teach
ourselves to relax for while? :)
