I'm especially leaning towards consistency right now,
probably because of the lack of it in past times. When we
use PHP_X for PHP X, we have a permanently valid 1-1
association between source code and branch name which is the
most transparent way to handle things IMHO.

I haven't run into these.. details would certainly simplify
that decision.
