Well, I don't think the distinction needs to be between branching from
the release and branching from master at random times.
At present the IDE has a fairly specific branch point at ~15th of
every third month.
Say if the VSCode plugin wanted to release monthly,
this detail would be a key requirement for this discussion. Without
knowing how frequent the releases are intended to be, it is very
difficult to make suggestions since it influences the setup.
Cherry-picks work ok for update releases which contain bug fixes and
occasionally a feature.
If we are talking about something which is closer to rolling releases,
it would have to branch from master most likely.
(I do not strongly oppose branching from master as already mentioned,
but lets not release the equivalent of JDK 24ea build 1. Master is to be
expected to be more stable when NB stabilizes)
