More as as long lived branch similar to what we have for airavata-0.15-release-branch any alternative suggestions? Other alternative is not to branch now, just tag (which is part of release process) and only branch from tag when needed. If we make a next release in a short time then we we may not require to make this long lived branch now with a perceived use.
