Oh, and about the "disable version warning switch" patch:
It seems a bit much to add a switch for what is mostly a developer-only
feature, when you can just hand edit setup_version.c if need be. Though
I could see it coming in handy.
However, I think the larger question is do we *really* need a release
branch? I only did it this time because it seems to be established
procedure, but I see no real reason to continue it. I guess it made
sense in prior times when there were destabilising changes being made on
HEAD, but is this something that's still relevent?
