A branch (whether 2.x) as you already suggested would simply do.
"perimeter" e.g. having mainly one person contributing to a piece of the
codebase, well, BrowserMap is a good example. There's practically nobody
other than Radu ever touching that. I was hoping to get some odd things or
redundancies like /trunk/project/trunk out of the repository, but it turned
out the way GitHub and Apache SVN are synced there caused this weird
naming. So I rolled back the changes. No fighting or struggeling in that
case, which shows, it mainly comes from just one team member (and it's not
me) where things get less professional and more polemic.

While Eberhard has a similar role as Radu on the .NET side, I used my
recent .NET responsibilities at current clients to test this client and
found bugs or issues. Which are now fixed. Also no false pride or shouting
from Eberhard about these adjustments or him being upset about the first
time people at a conference also saw "his" client.

While it may be not so trivial on the .NET side, for Java and other
languages (just see the Ruby example) having more than one CI instance to
verify each branch should do.

And since DeviceMap isn't the only project I am involved in (despite many
different ideas, just look at Tamaya-dev, you won't find a single case
where anybody there including myself would insult others or rather take
technically sound critique as a personal insult all the time;-) it
introduced a "Sandbox" for new ideas and integrating with other APIs and
frameworks: https://github.com/apache/incubator-tamaya/tree/master/sandbox

That or the "modules" concept also used by DeltaSpike and other projects
would make it relatively easy to separate the modules also by who's
responsible. As long as it builds on a CI server. Tamaya has at least 2
separate branch builds by now, and projects like DeltaSpike have several
dozens. Including some that build only examples.

Cheers,
Werner
