That means 2 pretests at once (as long as 21.3 is not released).  I don't 
think we can handle that.

That's what we did before branches.  I'm not sure we should go back to 
that model.

The reason for the branch was that many developers are interested in 
development much more than they are interested in pretest and other 
mundane tasks which are important for fast releases after the freeze.  
The branch was supposed to give those people an opportunity to check in 
changes even as the pretest was under way.

Emacs 21.1 was stable for me more than a year before it was released.  
The pretest phase found problems none of the developers ever saw.  Moral: 
don't make decisions about stability based on what people who read this 
forum tell you.
