[vtk-developers] ready to branch for 8.0.0?

[David E DeMarle]

Apologies for not saying so earlier but I'm going to delay 8.0 to give
people time to make the changes mentioned in this thread and because the
project that requested it slackened. I'm now aiming for a May 1st branch.

8.0.1 will come from the 8.0.0 tag (at that point aka release branch) and
only if important bugs turn up in 8.0.0.

8.1 will come from master a few months down the road.
