Correct. Note that this is only something that's been in place while 
I've been doing it. The current "standard" for how we do releases 
is just something I made up as I went along, including 
- regular 6-monthly bugfix releases
- only one maintenance branch (most recent) for the bugfix releases
- the last bugfix release of the previous release after a new major 
release.

I'm OK with these being formalised - but any additional requirements 
I'd like to discuss first :-)
