The devs do a lot of work and the only thing they get throw in their
faces are "when are the branch gonna be made?". I'm not a dev but
these are people that dedicate their free time to develop a nice
operating system and I have a hard time seeing how anybody could make
demands against them.

Lay it off and the branch will be made when they feel it's time for it.
