In the absence of such a branch, developers might be tempted
to commit ("pollute") the 4.3 branch with code, because there
is simply no viable alternative from their POV (hey, I did).
And we should not close our eyes from the possibility of a
4.3.1 release (e.g. due to a security issue). In that
not-so-remote event, having a 4.3 branch with minimal changes
is a simple requirement.
