I think Paul is right, create 6.4.0 release branch moments before 6.4.0rc1,
otherwise there is more backporting to do, which is a pain.

or is the idea to release rc1 in the next days?



I had some things I wanted to get done before 6.4.0-final, I added/
commented on a couple in the trac system yesterday, and I'll add a few
more as I can remember them ;)
