I don't know who to be mad at here, but this is getting !@#$@@#$ing stupid.

Per-release branches were working fine.  They make it easy to keep adding fixes to after release. 
They're simple.  They're easy to track.  Etc etc.  They're tried and true for oh so many projects.

Sigh, how many more ways is this release going to suck?
