I have a mild preference for having the maintenance branch, whatever we call it, just point to whatever has been released and is accumulating bug fixes. I figured that having a stable would be like having a main, instead of renaming main to whatever the upcoming version number is.
Well, for what it's worth, I would suggest creating a new branch for each release or release series, not that main or any branch is renamed.
Just like Debian has stable and testing, but the precise meaning of these changes over time.
Well, it is precisely this drifting meaning which, I believe, you are better off avoiding.
