So, 1.16wmf4 and 1.16 shared the same branch point, which was perhaps the start of a tradition. Is this the new rule? I don't have a strong opinion about whether that should be the case, but it does change how I think about 1.17 planning.
I would strongly recommend this. Having a running MediaWiki on a top 10 site is a very good form of quality control. And this way we are at least sure that code is pushed to the WMF serves on a regular interval. (Although I would prefer a shorter interval, I'm not sure whether this is feasible at this moment)
