I do. When we set out our release procedure, we said that we could cut all new versions from trunk. We copy trunk to a branch folder, and release from that into tags. Bug fixes are back-ported to the branches and then cut to a new tag. I'm really not up to speed with what is going on at the moment, but I must say that I find whatever it is quite confusing. It is my uneducated preference that we stick to the release procedure as it is documented. If the release procedure is defective in some way, then I propose we update it to fix whatever process bug we found that has caused us to do whatever it is that we're doing at the moment. I'm just really not happy with procedure deviating from what is documented. It makes my job harder, for a start.
