I usually do not create a branch for a major version until it is needed. I 
then use the latest tag of that version and copy it to the branch.

Right. Feel free to create the 1.9.x branch.

We are much closer. Adam just reported 100% code coverage to me. That was my 
final requirement. However, in light of this E-mail he asked to consider BBB 
support for Zope 3.4, which I would like to grant, since it would open all 
those wonderful new features to the Plone and Zope 2 developers.

Create a bug-fix branch. Of course, this becomes a weaker plan, if we have 
Zope 3.4 compatibility in 2.0
