I thought on this and believe it is a good time to make 2.61 
stable. Especially with Walter wanting to keep the feature 
(syntax) in just for them. They can trust it will remain a 
warning for x years.

But let us do this for a shorter than planned stable. This will 
allow us to try out the new process, and be no worse off than 
before.

But let us first get this branch. Ignoring how long this release 
will last we should all be agreeable on continuing development in 
master and fixing release bugs in 'staging'
