For the landing that are RTM only anyway, I don't see why we'd need to create a RTM branch. That would only make sense in case the upstream wants to deliver new features that are not necessarily related to RTM (so we can just cherry-pick stuff to RTM). Also, why can't we just do a package sync between both distros? ubuntu-rtm is a derived distro anyway. It seems overly complicated, really.
