I know, that is my general understanding of how staging would be
used. This is a release branch in most described models.
However I think that extending that to a longer period isn't bad.
But it does mean maintaining 3 branches (released, staging, dev).
If we only want the usual short prep period, staging should die
and we just branch into a Version branch (release branch) and tag
when it is released. This would not need a transition period.
