So, let's assume that the existing trunk

Whenever the code is all reviewed. If Wikimedia deployed enough
resources to reviewing code, I don't know, maybe that could be a month
or two from now. If the status quo on code review is kept, it will
probably be never. Of course, we could just accept that review won't
keep up with trunk, if we want to just give up on ever getting
volunteer code deployed in a timely fashion again. In that case, we
could branch from the last reviewed revision, and base both production
and 1.17 off that. But I'm kind of hoping that's not necessary or
desired by the powers that be.
