Does that also mean that Backfire is going to be retired? With no formal
10.03.2 forthcoming?
We didn't decide on that AFAIK.
Is the plan that AA will be the new "stable branch" and the trunk gets a
new name after the release?
As always, after a release has been made trunk reflects the next one's
name.
Have you thought about the future release strategy? Continuing the
current practice of "a major release every two years with some interim
releases"? Or Firefox/Chrome type of new releases more rapidly, e.g.
every 6 months?
That's pretty much the plan, except I would like to have AA+1 released in
December, after that 6 months release cycles.
Based on Backfire's recent history, I believe that trying to maintain a
stable branch for too long periods (like over 2 years for Backfire) is
going to succeed, as the trunk will get too much ahead of the stable
branch and as the developers' attention tends to be on the bleeding-edge
trunk, the stable branch is almost dead in practice. I suggest Openwrt
to rethink the release strategy towards a bit more rapid "stable"
releases.
See above.
