Ah yes, I agree. I was thinking "bug fixes" specifically (but the wrong
words came out).

Maybe the criteria are more like "non-breaking bug fixes, not in support of
any deprecated features, and trivially merged up to 4.x" or some such.

I *think* we'd still need an additional branch if we want to support any
level of changes to 3.7.x after 4.0 is released b/c we'd have:
* branch for 3.7.x
* branch for 4.0.x
* branch for 4.1/5.0
which could be named 3.7.x/stable/master respectively (although we should
discuss Josh H's comment too). Or am I missing your point here?

Actually my biggest concern with three branches is keeping the CI pipeline
alive (since it needs care and re-kicks for various reasons). Perhaps at
some point post-4.0, the 3.7.x branch could have some community stewards?
We did something like this for 2.7.x.
