I'd vote for a stable branch by now with bugfixes only. All rules can have 
exceptions, but those should have strong support: both in arguments and 
community members. Other communities are doing it without the need of a strict 
voting mechanism. After all, those that vote must also support the idea with 
code and compromise, so I think it's more a matter of discuss and accept other 
people's opinion.

I'd try this by now, and if it works the need for more things (other branches, 
improved infrastructure, etc) will arise naturally.
