it is adequate for the default, stable branch, just like we've always  
used.  those branches will continue to work like they always have.

however, these other branches i'm talking about are for development  
and other stable releases of contrib modules that are still  
compatible with the same version of drupal core's API.  for example,  
read the initial "tagadelic 'backport'" email that started the parent  
thread...

furthermore, rtf-handout. ;)

if that's not enough, rtf-issue where i first fought for (and won)  
the argument that we need this in contrib:
