If I understand correctly, this branch can no longer be assumed to be stable, correct? For example, I believe there was a 1.0 release of the Views module and now the 4.7 branch is seeing a lot of commits on it's way toward 1.1. Is that still considered a stable branch? How do I know what CVS tag to track for a stable branch? Or Is the convention going to be different for each contrib author?
In this case, DRUPAL-4-7 is stable except to the point where it turns out a fix I checked in is broken (which it turns out today that one *was*). DRUPAL-4-7 will by rule pretty much always be a little less stable than an actual release, since one can never be SURE that I didn't check in something that I missed a ramification of, especially in a project that has as many tendrils into other pieces as Views. That said, I'm not doing major development in that branch. When I do the major development, it'll be in DRUPAL-5--2. I don't know that I'll do Views 2 for 4.7. That's a lot of work.
