Andrey,

I'm not sure what you mean.  Are you suggesting that we won't want to have
stable branches? Or that we should avoid talking about branching till we
more fully describe it?  I am assuming that when we start having branches it
will be for stable release branches primarily, but the proposal isn't
intended to describe all use of branches, nor to set release strategy.
It does imply that such a thing as a "stable branch" may exist for some
reason, and that such a branch should be considered as requiring greater
care and rigor than "non stable" branches or trunks.

Best regards,
