>(IIUC) it has always done in the past?)

During release stabilization, at least in recent releases that I can remember, the maintainers have asked that changes go to the release branch first and then get (automagically or semi-automagically) ported to 'master' later.  So that's what we've been doing for a while.  I think it's partly just to ensure that what's about to be released gets live-tested as much as possible by the developers.

I don't know when this release branch policy was first instituted, and am not suggesting that it's better or worse than a master-first policy.  But it's what we've been doing.  IIRC John W. speculated that we might do differently for the next release, but said he didn't want to change it for this release.  I don't remember which email I saw that in, though.

Best regards,
-Karl
