But we already have 3+ branches for apps.  And, this third branch would be
a temporary, short-term thing, after which it becomes the latest releng_*
branch.  So you would only need to worry about this "third" branch for
a short period of time.

I admit, it would be more complicated.  But it would also buy us the 
ability to cut more releases.  As always, there is a trade off.

Maybe we should discuss having a dedicated release 
"cleanup-it-and-get-it-out-door" type team?
