If we follow the newly-proposed timeline on that page, 1.24 would have wmf23, wmf24 and wmf25 branches before being again branched? It would help a great deal if you're choosing to alter the process that you change expectations by communicating them a little earlier; as it is I'll have to go and apologise to everyone who I informed that 1.24wmf22 would be the last cut, and instead explain that the plans were changed.
