It's not so obvious how to deal with pre-releases. For testing, you
should be able to take git at any point, and I think it's a better way
to check before releases, as you can conveniently look at history,
bisect, patch etc. To me, it is not so great, it's still easy to miss
important fixes during pre-release period. And it delays other work.

I would rather maintain upstream stable branches (for example, the
branches in Fedora or RHEL). But even that is not so obvious, sometime
fixing bugs may require important and risky changes (this is what
happened in v0.27, to fix channel lifecycle bugs)
