Yes.  We typically don't make the branch until after beta1.
It definitely has to happen before the first CF for the new cycle
opens, but up till that point we tend to think it'd just double
the committing work for bug fixes, as well as encourage people
to work on new development at a time they should be working on
stabilizing/testing the release.

In recent years it's tended to happen late June (grep the commit
log for "Stamp HEAD as ...").
