What some other projects run is a live head, and a release branch 
strategy. I think this can be dangerous if done badly because there is a 
tendency for developers to work on HEAD and ignore the branches and they 
go stale, however, it can work if you have a release manager to work on 
pulling changes back into the release branch..

I'm not sure it's a great idea for OC, but just chucking the thought in...
