Hey everyone,

I am trying to understand the release process and versioning of V8 and had 
a question.

I came across Release Process <https://v8.dev/docs/release-process> & V8’s 
version numbering scheme 
<https://v8.dev/docs/version-numbers#which-v8-version-should-i-use%3F> 
docs, that explains how it is tightly connected to Chrome’s. 

Although, I did notice that for the v8 repo, automated version bumps 
changing the BUILD_NUMBER are performed on a branch off main (Link to CL 
<https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3056359>) (which will 
later become the revision in Chromium.src DEPS); whereas Chromium.src 
performs it on main (Link to CL 
<https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3052678>).

I was curious to know, if there’s a reason why we follow this model, 
contrary to performing these version bumps on main?

Thanks

Suraj
