I believe it would be a huge mistake branching with the high a number of
_known_ regressions we currently have. We should strive to fix most of
these in stage 3, not on the release branch again.
In the past I have been a strong proponent of having a regular release
cycle, but perhaps we simply cannot sustain both a regular release
cycle and the high quality we claim (but do not really achieve) at
