That was my use case for packaging. Specifically, it can take a while to get a release actually finished. Several version strings need updating, NEWS needs a final summary, etc. Plus, once you've finished it, you then need to go back to bzr.dev and bump *that* up to being N+1.dev. For a while the Windows packaging built from a branch rather than a tag as well. And given the vagaries of PQM + tags it still could be problematic. I generally preferred that the official bzr tag was on the revision that PQM generated, not on the one *I* generated, even then, one of the official releases no longer matches the tag in the official trunk. I found the problem quickly, and wanted to get it bumped, but I think the LOSAs were extra busy and I didn't push hard enough. I don't remember the version number now. Anyway, yes I explicitly wanted a separate branch for a release series. I thought we were going to do 2.2b1 a while ago, so I had them create it for me. AFAICT it doesn't actually add any overhead to the release process. As you still have to create and tag 2.2b1, and then re-open bzr.dev as 2.2b2-dev. Though I guess you could do both in your offline branch, have the tag written here, and then pqm-submit the whole thing in one go? The fact that your 2.1b1 tarball breaks 2.4 compatibility is a good sign that maybe we shouldn't be doing it that way.
