Walter, Jacopo,
Jacopo is absolutely right. A release branch isn't something ready for release; it's a
feature-locked bugfix-only branch which is much easier to bring to stability for release.
As long as we don't start the release branch, we won't start fixing more bugs than we create. We
won't get a feature freeze/lock.
It's not difficult to merge fixes back and forth between trunk and branch. With the slow-moving
(no new features) waters in the release branch, we can even isolate and fix bugs easier and
faster. No moving target to chase.

Walter,
I don't think we will ever do a feature lock in OFBiz; the thing closer
to a feature lock is a branch where only fixes are applied.

We have *calculation* issues in the Jira issues that need to be either
fixed or marked as closed.
These are not features. These are places that ofBiz generates
incorrect values, stores bad data, and does the wrong thing.
Does anyone think that it won't create 10 times more effort to fix
these in both a release and trunk branch?
Feature lock TODAY. Fix/Close these issues. Branch, then resume the
feature/framework changes...
