My understanding of all this was that when 4.0 goes out the door it will
be branched and then the head will stay as current and start its long
journey towards 5.0 and the 4.x branch will become -stable, although not
actually stable until 4.2ish. Which leaves people who need an actual
stable release stuck for a while since I can't see anything happening to
3.x anymore. One of the reasons for switching to a strictly two branch
system was that it become impossible to support more than two versions
of the code.
