We certainly need a means to handle different time scales for different features, pet project, people, ... Your proposal makes sense, but I don't know how much extra effort it would be. Ideally, "backporting" is a matter of five minutes if the changes are fairly local, but I am not sure this holds in general. In any case, unless someone comes up with something more promising, I'd like to give it a try. The current release handling is nothing I want to endure another time.
