In my case, I never (or at least very rarely) care about building exactly the actual release and I prefer building from the `emacs-NN` branch. Typically the main purpose is to run some older Emacs to see if some ELisp code works on that older version and the difference between `emacs-NN` and the actual release is negligible in that case.
