I guess that if we could get 5.0 complete, we'd could *then* branch for 6, but I don't think we'd want to serialize like that.
I understand the dilemma. If we agree to have 1 stable, 1 'future' and N suspended (old) branches as a rule we finally will tune our process and will have almost no overhead to propagate changes from one branch to another. The hell is when you do not have any stable schema and create long living branches without reasons. The success of preprocessor's idea is also heavily depends how will we use it. For example, what about "old versions"? Should we someday move the code into separate branch or collect N-years old versions in the same source? -- Mikhail Fursov
