That's a good point. Release branches are probably overkill for alpha/beta/rc releases, but probably make sense for final releases. We actually did create one for 2.3, but I screwed up when I named it and that caused a tiny bit of pain in moving to the maintenance branch. OTOH, for a final release, maybe release branch == maintenance branch.

Well, if nothing else this thread has demonstrated that I'm not the only one who's a little confused by the release/maintenance branching policy. phew!
