+1 provided patches in branch-0.3.1 would also be in branch-0.3 (surely 
a given, but it is better to clarify).

Unless I am missing something, a 0.3.1 branch should only exist in order 
to stabilize the 0.3 branch for the coming release.
So any additional work on 0.3 out of scope for the 0.3.1 can still be 
checked in and be part of a 0.3.2 release (ex: I want to backport giraph 
or add some other project to the 0.3 branch, outside of the BOM of 
0.3.1). But any bugfix in 0.3.1 would still be needed for any future 0.3 
branch. And as well, any version 0.3.2 should contain the same set of 
components at the same version or later than the ones in 0.3.1.


If we are not at the point where new features in branch-0.3 can 
interfere with the stabilization of 0.3.1, branching for 0.3.1 can 
probably be delayed.

Thanks,
Bruno

actually, it seems like a bit of double work. The purpose of having a separate
release branch is to well... separate the states of 0.3 and 0.3.1 release,
because the latter might include a different set of component version (from
have been in 0.3). backporting such patches would I am sure create quite a
confusion. Don't you think?
