Possibly superfluous clarification: what we're talking about here is to branch 1.17wmf1 (i.e. WMF deployment), not an immediate 1.17 release candidate. Obviously we'd deploy first and release later, that's what we've always done AFAIK.
Yup. The only wrinkle here is that we may want to branch 1.17 + all extensions (the tarball branch) at the same time we branch 1.17wmf1 + deployed extensions (the deployment branch). If we don't do that, then when it comes time to put together a tarball release, it'll be difficult to sync it with what is in deployment.
