Alex, what are your thoughts on NOT creating a 3.4 branch and continuing
with trunk for development? You seem to be pro the concept above and it
makes sense that if we switch to rtc on trunk say 1 week or so before a
release date as defined in the ReleaseGoals, everyone is happy.

I'm quite uncomfortable with that myself, however I haven't written a
lot of code for SA in the past couple of years myself. I do think
efforts should be placed on regular review of patches against stable
branches instead.
To me it makes most sense to create a 3.4 branch at the time of a release
or shortly before it. So I'm closer to Kevin on this than with Daryl.
Perhaps I'm not following what has been said here. I thought it was
being suggested we use trunk "forever" as the 3.4 development tree,
rather than branching it at some point.
I'm all for RTC'ing trunk sometime just before an RC is cut and then
branching once the final release is cut. That's what we've always done
-- so no change there. I think it's even in the release procedures.
