To me it is not fully clear in this text if we will branch 2.14 or 2.16,<br>
I think that is because (in Juergens words) in the beginning we talk<br>
about branch in parallel (which at least in my eyes is about branching<br>
now). But in the disadvantages part we write : "To counter this, our<br>
public recommendation is that after 2.16 comes out..."<br>
<br>
If we are not branching 2.14, we could mention the reason we are NOT<br>
branching now already (paid features/contracts?). I'm afraid some will<br>
be disappointed that they have to wait another half year before they can<br>
add the things they want to add/change.<br>

I think the simplest way to explain it is that we just 'keep on trucking', doing 2.x releases as 'normal' every 4 months until 3.0 is ready. After 2.16 is released, we immediately create teh 3.0 branch and encourage all new features to be written there.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Regards</div></div></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Tim</div><br></div></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

PS I still think branching NOW is best: if no one will do anything, we<br>
will have a branch where nothing happens, but if dev's start<br>
working/testing ( at least I will try to build :-) ) we will have a<br>
headstart or at least some experience.<br>
