Well there is three problems to branching.
1) I don't have enough time to maintain two branches, so I would have to let
one branch down.
2) History has shown numerous times that as soon as I've accepted a patch into
the code, people kind of keep interest in maintaining it. this means that I
need to test patches with new features *before* they go into the code. With
me focusing on the release, this would just be problems piling up for me.
3) If I branches, everyone using SVN would be using the new cool branch, and
the release would be even less tested before released.
Hope that answers your question.
