I guess I'd rather have the last release branch semi-open for bug fixes only. I also fully realize: a) that this could be too much more work than the release branches are already. b) fixing one bug can cause three more to pop up. I think the release branches for security the way they are are great anyway. Thanks Murray and the whole RE team.
