What's the point if there are no binaries?  Testing is done not intensive
enough even with binaries - w/o binaries it's likely to be even worse.

That's can be done without a separate branch - and w/o a separate branch there
would be nightlies to test...

My concern is more when https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2197 is going to be
resolved - as that is what 2.10.1 is waiting for.
