Pardon my accent in the suggestion that follows: "Indeed that wasn't one 
of my best posts, but you know that happens to any and all of us. I now 
understand the dynamics and needs of this projects a little better, and 
I probably should one day contribute a exactly one line to it so I get a 
better feel for the whole process. I agree that disciplined use of 
branching for each release is a good start, as others pointed out."
