Yes, this is the rule to follow. In my case, the changes I referred to
are https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127103 which is an obvious
release blocker.

Andrea argues that it is traditional to put all point releases in the
same branch. Following that tradition we would use AOO410 for all 4.1.x
releases.

Correct. This is traditional but wrong (or at least awkward). So I also
agree we should change it. I'm unsure about doing it for 4.1.3, but at
latest we should change this (and communicate the change) upon releasing
4.1.3. This ensures we can consider all downstream packagers to be
informed.

I feel, very strongly, that the creation of the 4.1.4 branch should not wait for completion of the 4.1.3 release. We should be making decisions about 4.1.4 content, and checking in code for it, while 4.1.3 is undergoing testing, voting, and file copying.
