I like my bikesheds blue.

Yes. Today is a bit sunny in London.
Thanks for asking .. and ignoring that rc<num> versioning convention adds some overhead on packaging layer.
Your bikeshed argument is really powerful so I can only give up.

Are you volunteering to do the work for this? Or do you just expect us
upstream to maintain twice the amount of releases?

We don't want to be consumed in just doing release mangament. It's
hard enough, and we definitely prefer if developers focus on one
master, not many, and stop developing new stuff while we are in release
mode. This means, doing parallel branches for upstream development is
not in the cards, sorry. Either everyone stabilizes or everyone works
on new stuff.

Note that there's a "stable" backport tree maintained outside of the
main repo:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable

In other words you asking me voluntary do the job which is already done.
Nice. OK, I'll take that job.
