Hi,
I think that short-lived branch is better, because every testing branch
had few easy-to-fix issues which were fixed almost immediately in .dev
after testing branched and it would be hard to choose which branch was best.
But tag from any testing branch + first few quick fixes would be almost as
good as based on any other testing branch.
And I also agree with Phil that this short lived branch should be
removed when the tag is created (to show that it's final state without
maintainance).
Just my 2c.
Regards,
