It's better to set up separate branches in the source repository

We would continue to create branches for major releases to release
bugfix and security releases as needed.
Unless I misinterpreted something, I think Elliotte was
referring to the need for constant vigorous development
where testing milestones are reached and future extension
carries on simultaneously (not only bugfixes for older
supported releases). A bit like stable and unstable Debian,
or even the Kernel Mm tree that is maintained by Andrew
Morton. I suppose that Fedora and RHEL would be another
example... that in itself signals the need for multiple
patchmasters or maintainers, I think.
That's what I think Elliotte meant as well. I'd throw myself behind
breaking it up into three branches (like Debian), unstable, testing
and stable; however, implementing slightly differently to Debian: so,
we move unstable to testing once we have the feature freeze (then
starting a new unstable branch), with testing replacing stable at the
end of the 4 month release cycle.
