No features. I just think it makes more sense to create the release branch when you make the first beta.
That is common in other projects. It does have the problem that you have to apply bug-fixes twice, which is tedious to do. Not branching only hurts if there are significant sub-projects that need to share up-to-date sources, which is not the case for Python. We don't even branch for the final release, which I consider a (minor) flaw. Instead, the maintenance branch is created *after* the release. Regards, Martin
