Release Branches and Releases

[Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com.INVALID>]

Hi,

Over the next day or so you will see release branches being created and
commits being made to those branches and other branches by me.  Do not
make commits to these release branches.  This is just practice for the
automated scripts that will produce our release candidates.  Hopefully I
will be able to delete these practice branches and create real ones with
the same name when the time comes.

We should start discussing now what needs to go in the release, but
actually, I would rather just release what we have and crank a dot-release
every month if we can automate this process.  Then there wouldn't be as
much emphasis on trying to fix every little thing before we release. The
philosophy should be "If it is better than the last release and not
illegal" then vote +1 and everything else waits for the next release.

Thanks,
-Alex
