May we consider switching the semantics of the tags so that "release-21.2"
is the latest beta known to compile somewhere, and "r21-2-latest" is
the current, not necessarily coherent, state of the CVS head?
Or maybe retire "release-21.2" and use "r21-2-latest-beta" (or one of
the two obvious abbreviations, I favor "r21-2-beta" for brevity and
clarity) for the most recent consistent sources and "r21-2-head",
"r21-2-current" (I don't like it, too similar to "latest"), or
"r21-2-bleeding-edge" for the possibly inconsistent head of the
branch?
Sorry, I should have thought about this before when you posted your
"Engineering Changes" proposal. But it just hit me smack in the face
when you juxtaposed a tag named "release" with "may not even
compile"!
