Well, they could still branch from the branch that has ended, just not
merge back there without resurrecting it.

We have a complicated hierarchy of branches, and it seems like the
concensus advice is to try to respect the hierarchy of branches when
merging, ie 4.1.1 should merge to 4.1, to 4, to trunk...

Branching from a tag just seems to allow the possibility of a merge to
the wrong place, or one of the intermediate branches getting skipped.

Cheers, jamie
