True.

I was thinking a branch off of 26 with relaxed rules. I'm not sure what
the EOL policy would be like — could be any of
* treat both .0 and .1 releases as we do full releases now (which would
make each release go EOL a month after the *next* .0 or .1)
* end the .1 release support at the same time .0 ends
* make the .1 point a big update bundle and not support .0 after that,
but taking the whole thing around to after the next .1
Rawhide is a good question. I'd like to see the more-stable-rawhide
("Bikeshed!") idea in place, and hopefully more people running that,
making it more likely that Rawhide is at a good place for stabilization
when we branch for the annual release.
