Whats the outcome? Amarok (not sure about konversation) took also a
different route where they directly release from master, but I think master
is closed for feature-development and hence basically is a stable branch.
Only at certain point when a given feature branch is finished and tested
enough is it merged into master. But I'm not 100% sure what their exact
model is wrt. commits that may go directly into master...
