What I'm wondering is, how do we change the version numbers to make
a milestone release without affecting master?

I don't believe there will be a cost, was more thinking to the plublic face
of the
project on github. Look at the branches dropdown here:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools
I'm wondering if people might get confused by seeing the release branches
and
might end up working off those ones instead off the stable or master branch.
Also thinking 2-3 years in the future, having the release branches will
mean having
twice as many entries in the dropdown.
Maybe I'm thinking too much? :-p
Cheers
Andrea
