Hi all, I am not myself a developer of Flight Gear but it seems to me that a release branch could already be created now ? It is a cheap decision to make, and an even cheaper action to do. It does not prevent the core code from making progress for the near and far future while allowing the release to be fixed at the same time. All bug fixes would go in both the release and 'next' branch, other development would go in the 'next' branch only. Well, nothing really new but given that FG switched to git a few months ago, why not taking advantage of it ? Just my 2 cents.
