CVS is policy-free. Which means you can do what you want. I suggest to adopt the
scheme stable/releasecandidate/unstable, with a branch for each, most developers will
work on "unstable" and QA/bugfixers will work on "stable", except when a release is
close, where they will work mostly on "releasecandidate".
Just be sure the guy who does the merge is knowledgeable, it is not obvious the first
time you do it!
