No, it should not be interpreted strictly, well not 100% strictly but maybe
90% ... :) My only concern is to have 2 branches that will live
independently with different sets of committers and not point of
convergence ... I don't think it would do any good, would it ? Everyone
would be happy but it would be the same as having 2 separate
implementations. However if the changes to 1.x are bug fixes and maybe some
minor evolutions but with the goal of easing the migration to the 2.0
release, then I would be for it. Branches are meant to be reconciled ...
Your example of adding a DIGEST support in branch 1.x is fine I think during
the migration phase to 2.0 (i.e. during the time when Slide is still using
1.x and has not yet migrated to 2.x) but this change should also be added to
the main 2. x branch.

P.S.: I have probably come too strong in my other email ... and I apologize
for that (I should not write emails in the afternoon, I'm too tired ...
:-) ).
I guess we agree here and the only remaining point is the location of the
2.x branch. I would not want to see in the sandbox. What about others ?
