The issue I see is we will have X releases. A bug is fixed, do we 
now apply it to all X or only Y releases?

I see it unreasonable to maintain every release. If we need to 
make a special "maintenance" release then we directly handle the 
issue being requested instead of providing every fix applicable.

Branches work when needing to handle continuous support, but tags 
are the perfect lite weight solution when you'll have to handle 
one off support. It can be done right now, but I don't know what 
version you'd release 2.57 + 1 as.
