Sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, branch now(ish) and then aim for a 1.18 release on July 15th. My idea is that setting a date for the release to be soon and early would provide the motivation to the people involved in code review to keep it up-to-date.
The point I was trying to make was that July is by no means "soon and early" in my book. It's three months away, which is way to long. Setting a date is nice, but if we can get a release out before the set date, that's a good thing, and I think we can (and /should/) get 1.18 out way faster.
