Hi,

The first decision is to what extent we are supporting the "old" version (once 
the new one exists, of course). I think it would be limited to security fixes. 
If so, this is exactly the same as when we released 1.2, 1.3, and so on. Master 
is always latest (FDB, in this case) and there are branches like 1.2.x or 2.0.x 
if we need to backport security fixes to make a release there.
