I do not like the idea of releasing code that was
not run on Wikimedia

Also agree, as I've said elsewhere. Better to delay branching 1.17 an
extra month or two than to release it when it hasn't been tested on
Wikimedia sites.
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.
Presumably you mean that we would create REL1_17 now, as a copy from
trunk, then run make-wmf-branch in January, which would copy from
REL1_17 to 1.17wmf1, to be deployed shortly after. Then we would tag
for release of 1.17 beta 1 some time after that.
I am fine with this plan.
