We should strive for short lived release branches with clear owners. 
Release branches should live long enough to stabilize, and the owner 
should pull in what fixes are needed to stabilize.
A predictable cadence for release will also help. With a known duration 
between releases the pressure to get one more thing into the current 
release can be lightened.
