Will the next SCons update (SCons 2.3.3) be released from default based?
 Based on the current commit workflow this seems to be the case.

Is this a good model for project releases?  In this case, the reason for
releasing an update is to fix a VERY specific issue.  Wouldn't it be better
to release with a patch fix on top of branch rel_2.3.2 as 2.3.2-2 rather
than release everything current in default which may include changes
intended for SCons 3.X?

I am concerned that the leading contributor to SCons 2.X instability,
including breaking pre-2.7 compatibility, is the lack of separation between
2.X baselines and 3.X.  Maybe there needs to be a workflow developed for
this?  We might consider handling version releases more like the python
release model (or some other industry-standard-like release model).

Maybe I am misunderstanding.  We are releasing SCons 2.3.3 from default,
please consider merging pull request #164 to improve the documentation on
http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2395

V/R,
William
