[QGIS-Developer] 3.10.0 in hard freeze, should we branch master as unfreeze for 3.12?

[Mathieu Pellerin]

I'm also -0 to branch off early, as I think it's a missed opportunity to
get core devs to stick to soon-to-be-released 3.10 for as long as possible
(and therefore oh-so slightly increase the chance of core devs stumbling on
a bug he/she can fix prior to release :) ) .
