My concern is that committers will want to add new functionality to a 1.x
release when 1.x+1 release has already been released.

If we decide to close the 1.x branch after 1.x+1 is out, then I think we're
just talking really minor points - it's a matter of how best to use Subversion
itself. FreeBSD's model is not to ever close down any branch; changes still
go into every prior release. I think that'd be a giant nightmare.

I only want one open 1.x branch at a time. I'd do that with one directory,
but it could be cleaner multiple copies (hey copies are cheap). *shrug* --
