A question has been asked about branching release25-maint at the time of beta1. I was actually thinking about doing this for 2.5rc1 - once we're in release candidate stage we want to really be careful about checkins. I'm not sure it's worth branching at beta1 - it's a bit more work all round, vs what I suspect will be a small amount of 2.6 work landing on the trunk nownownow. Also, I'd prefer people's cycles be spent on bughunting 2.5 rather than worrying about shiny new features for the release that's, what, 18 months away?

Anyway, thought I'd open this up for discussion...
