[vtk-developers] ready to branch for 8.0.0?

[Cory Quammen]

Dave,

VTK 8.0.0 seems like a good target for some of the bigger API change
merge requests that have been put off for a while Examples include:

https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/1455
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/917

If we are aspiring toward using semantic versioning [1], now would be
the time to make such API changes. And document them nicely as well,
of course.

Thanks,
Cory
