The problem is, whether it's "officially" wanted or not, it's being
done anyway, because that's a Git'sie workflow. I'm probably not the
only one who had a "2.2.3" branch around before 2.2.2 was tagged (I
did commit minor stuff in there, mostly string changes).

And the more people have such things around, the more weird it gets to
coordinate and merge all this after tagging. So we might as well have
an official branch to alleviate this chaos a bit.
