I think I prefer Richard's suggestion of not branching until we're ready to

I like this approach.
So have we come to some sort of consensus here? We leave mainline as
stage 3 until we release? or at least have a somewhat final release
candidate?
Once we hit the target of 100 open PRs,( or whenever we would have
originally cut a stage 3 release branch), we firm up stage 3 so that
*really* only bugfixes go in. Then we work toward a release candidate,
etc etc.?
We can play it by ear, but do you want to wait to open stage 1 until we
actually release 4.3, or do it after RC2 or something like that where
there isn't much else going to happen to it? Either works for me, but
I don't see that opening stage 1 before we actually release buys us much.
