Hi,

please dont top post. The discussion happened here on the ML. we 
exchanged mails that we will do a 18.06 and now with june coming up we 
exchanged 5 lines on IRC trying to figure out when we have time to do 
the branching. this whole discussion is just creating FUD. we announced 
18.06 almost 2 months ago and now with june coming up we are executing 
the plan. no more no less. i really dont understand the commotion. 
thanks to alberto for providing some useful comments to the discussion.

     John
