I haven't had time to properly think about this yet.

My understanding is that there's negligible cost to adding multiple bzr
branches to the central repo (in terms of, say, server resources or bzr
log output).  Is that right?  If so, I guess it won't hurt to start
making branches for the features lined up for Emacs 24 (which we'll
begin concentrating on in a couple months, once 23.2 draws closer to
release).
