Re: Ready to branch 7.2/7.3 ?

I guess I don't understand the issue at hand.  Why wasn't the branch
created when the release was made?  Why can't 7.3 development start
immediately?  After all, once the branch is made, any 7.2 patches can be
applied to the branch and specific patches can be tagged as such on the
branch.  Likewise, merging them back to the truck isn't exactly hard to
do once you're ready to migrate back into the 7.3 development process.

While I've not checked for any tags in CVS, I have noticed that some
code as changes since the 7.2 release so if you tag CVS based on
float/truck, 7.2 CVS != 7.2 release.  Is there a document that explain's
the general CM approach around here?

What gives?

Sorry if this is explained elsewhere.
