We would need to fix those anyway as that is the last release. There are
bugs everywhere, and I am sure there will be bugs in 4.9 not even
considered. Still, I would consider a stable branch for newcomers, and fix
the problem appearing.

It is better to have less, but more stable branches now and also in the
future in my opinion.
