Having a dedicated, and well-defined 4.7, as well as several branches aimnig 
at "some distant" release sounds like an even better plan then a single 5.0 
branch.

CVS is not ready for this, though, but we should certainly not hold ourselves 
back because our tools are bnot able to cope with our ideas :)

Let us not get into a CVS vs. XYZ fight right now, but focus on the 
discussion.

Having several brancheseach with their onwbn group and goal is a brillant 
plan. Theme overhauls do not stand in the way of CCK. A i18n in core will not 
hold back any development on big nodeapi improvments and so on.

So; after I read this post by Larry, I think aiming for a 5.0 is not a good 
idea after all. But aiming for a 4.7-without-Uncastrated-male-cattle-poop 
still is a good idea. A,nd having a place, or more places, to put all that 
Uncastrated-male-cattle-poop is a good idea too, especially if those can be 
placed in a lot of seperate places.
