IMHO it's fine to release just for improvements in existing features, although it's hard to build PR around it. Also we may call support for GCC 5.0 a feature... > But this raises some other questions we need to answer. What happens > to the already existing open branches?

IMO it's time to stop supporting branches 1.x and 2.x. I don't see why people would like to use them. And if they really do, then, well, they will still be able to. Those branches don't need security fixes and alike, so if someone really wants to use them, it should work fine. > The idea of light release sounds interesting.
