It sounds good to me, it streamlines things a bit and seems to be what other projects are doing. As Julian pointed out in the other thread it still pays to have someone "managing" the release and to have some discussion about when's the right time to start a release branch. The "release manager" job has rotated through a few different people over the past few major releases, which is good.
