that is exactly how our policy works today. efl is done exactly this way.
enlightenment should/does also run this way. mike does maintain stable branches
for releases and he does backport/cherry pick to them. stable releases come from
these branches (micro releases). he has called release freezes in the past
before a release (no new features). history shows that normally there's a
"freeze transition" period of a few days to a week or so as people push in some
final stuff and then things settle down. sometimes a feature does creep in if
it's really important to. but this is how it is done.

i think what you mean is that the method and "process" is there, but
enlightenment is not as stable as you would like it to be? is what what you
mean? because the model/process is there exactly as you describe.
