["Lionel Sausin, de la part de l'équipe informatique Numérigraphe" <informatique@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, I mostly branch my bug-fixes from a stable "x.y.0" tag, which has 2 
more advantages :
* it makes uploading the branch to LP much faster
* it often allows the same branch to be merged in several stable 
versions AND in trunk.

However there are cases where this is not possible because of conflicts, 
and I have to make several branches.
So I don't believe this can work for new features because they often 
rely on refactoring/improvements made in the trunk. When they don't, 
it's a pitty because a lot of refactoring is still needed everywhere
To make it work would take each developer start from a stable tag and 
merge in all the branches that contain related improvements.
Considering that this is useful less than 6 month (ETA of new stable), 
backporting new modules seems easier than all this bookkeeping.
