Hi Ken,

I'm happy to help tidy up Launchpad etc (e.g. repoint lp:duplicity,
change branch descriptions), but I want to make sure that we are agreed
on the approach.

If we have EOLed 0.6, my sense is that we need 0.7 to become "Stable"
(bug fixes only) and 0.8 to become the main "Development"/lp:duplicity
branch. Does that sound sensible?

I have only developed against the 0.7 branch so far -- is there anything
half-baked in the 0.8 series that would prevent us using that one as the
main branch going forward?

Thanks again,

Aaron
