I think this is rather shortsighted. Corporate support by
Walter is only one possible scenario, but there are many others.
Indeed. To avoid the proliferation of branch that need support,
it is better to slow down the number of new feature that each
release provide and release them by packs.
So less branch need to be maintained.
The prevalent use of the feature would be that a bug in a
future release is back-patched onto an older release.
It is usually easier to go from the oldest to newest than the
other way around.
