It is no different than supporting one LTS backporting branch and 
current actual release branch. Only difference from proposed 
model is that by calling it "release" you are taking certain 
responsibilities to get in at least a bit usable shape at the 
point of release.

DMD releases may have never been stable but they are _much_ more 
stable than usage of git master HEAD.
