Our normal schedule is 4 weekly releases, with 5 weeks per release.
Given that 0.18 went RC on the 10ths, that makes 3 weeks of open trunk
with a freeze on the 31st, then an RC on the 7th and release on the
14th.

You are the RM, but I've found the 3 weeks open, one week frozen to work
quite well.

Performance performance performance.

That should have been done a week and a bit ago by my count. IMO
destabilising things should either go in on the first couple of days
after the RC, or not at all.

This is not fixable in 0.19 it needs a 0.14 point release.

This is needed to allow the smart server streaming change to come in as
its a data-level precondition for it not causing corruption in the form
of missed records.
