This last one seems funny.

The idea behind the stacking is that all the active development is
going on in the new-release branch (precise), rather than all the old
branches (oneiric, natty, maverick, lucid, ...). We really wanted to
avoid the situation where we ended up with the really active branch
being stacked in a chain of 26 branches.
