I agree that we should start 6.2 release process soon. I would prefer however
to avoid to have 6.2 branch for a long time before 6.2.0 release.
Because we have usually problems to keep in sync bug fixes in more branches
as many occasional contributors do not follow the release process
or forget to commit bug fixes into both branches.

My suggestion is to prepare 6.2.0 release in HEAD and create the 6.2
branch in the moment of 6.2.0 release. In the perion 6.2 feature freeze
- 6.2.0 release all contributors should concentrate on bug fixing.

What features are missing for 6.2 feature freeze? GEM,... ?
