Final first, yes. But there is no need to maintain the branch after we are
done with it. We run `svn cp branches/v2.3 tags/RELEASE_2_3`, which gives
us a copy, then run `svn mv branches/v2.3 branches/v2.4` and we have renamed
the branch. If, for some reason, we ever needed a branches/v2.3, we can
copy the tag.
Remember: Subversion is not CVS. We have different, better, ways to do
things.

We're differing only in SVN mechanics, as described above.

What do you mean? And why? Has anyone ever reported problems that suggest
that we need fast-fail in either of those two? I don't know if those would
survive the high-value test.
But what about all of the admin work that Bernd has been doing?
Again, my suggestion is that v2.4 be focused on the low-risk, high-value
equation. This is a plan to focus development on v3, while providing a
means to put only the most valuable, compatible, and lower risk improvements
into a v2.4 release.
