My understanding from the doc is that creating the release branch `cassandra-4.0` happens with GA. That means we're working on trunk until GA. Previously C* hasn't had any branches but these release branches, i.e. no beta or rc branches… (afaik) I would have thought it better to branch on RC? if at that point much of the testing efforts are subsiding, and folk are ready for other things.
