4.7.0 is going to be released master. After the 4.7.0 release for a
period of time master will be restricted to bugfixes until a new 4.7
branch will be created (an exact copy of master). From that point the
two branches can diverge and master will be open for features again.
4.7 will live on for backporting fixes to the 4.7 series. Thus
everything that is now in master will go into 4.7.0.

Cristian
