I've followed some of the rationale between having different github
repos, but not all of it.

Couldn't the same thing be accomplished with a single repo and multiple
branches, and just implementing different policies on the different
branches?

ie:
master    - experimental, unstable head - latest and greatest code
master2-1 - 2.1 legacy
master3-1 - 3.1 unstable

Then do the exact same thing you do now for the 3 separate repos in
terms of maintainance and patching and such.

It really comes down to preference though and what people expect.
Personally, I expect a single project to use a single repo with multiple
maintanance branches and feature branches.  It's weird and confusing to
have to go to different repos depending on which release number I'm
currently looking at.

As described by Paul above, a developer can make their local git repo
look like that, but if it's easier to have them all in a single git repo
locally, wouldn't it be easier on github too?
