yes, we should create a branch after 3.0final where we can make small
fixes for versions 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and so on (similar to what we did
after version 2.0). On the HEAD branch, we should proceed with version
3.1.0, 3.1.1, etc. until we decide to switch to 4.0.0.

Martin's question inspired me to think about extensibility, however.
In July, I'd like to start to prototype the propagation of model
changes to code (see my Confluence page for that). To be able to do
this, I'd like to have an extension point (similar to the Eclipse
architecture) where I can plug in something, without breaking the
official distribution. We should discuss this subject in a separate
thread, though.

Cheers...
Matthias
