I'm fine with that.

I think Peter's suggestions are worth further consideration as well. As he
pointed out, Flashrom has always been pretty simple and flat, and tags seem
like a good way to do releases without the difficulties we've experienced
with multiple branches.

Your idea to do release branches is fine, too. So long as we have something
that is low-overhead, less bottlenecked, and won't cause as much friction
moving forward.

This is somewhat subjective, but I agree largely due to the libflashrom and
layout patches. And aside from code quality `staging` also has features and
hardware support (either merged or pending) that I need to do work.
