I agree that it doesn’t make sense to branch if we’re not going to open main for 6.0.

I think the main argument for opening main is that developers tend to write code.  The best way to keep them from messing up the stable is to give them someplace else to put it. ;)

But with git it probably doesn’t make that much difference.  People can commit to their own repos.

Cheers,
Jeff.

I'm thinking it doesn't make sense to have two identical branches all the way up to the stable release.  All this does is make more work for me without any tangible benefit.  I think we should continue developing version 5 in the development repo until the stable 5 release and then branch.  Can anyone think of a reason not to do this?
