Branching doesn't mean they are releasing the 0.97. It means developers are allowed to keep working on the trunk, adding fixes, features even if they are 'higher risk". The 0.97 branch is managed in a more conservative way and additional fixes, top crashers can be addressed. A top crasher can be bumped off to another Milestone if fixing it might bring other regressions. That is why releasing a Milestone usually happens a week or more after branching happens.
