Why do you say that versions disappear faster? I don't understand that
statement.
And what is the merge mess you are trying to avoid? I know that keeping
multiple trees in sync is complex, but I don't see how this introduces
complexity.

I think we may just have different ways of looking at this. I spend my
time porting patches between trees, so to me, every upstream release
that's still maintained is logically a separate branch. Maybe the
current scheme makes more sense for you folks working on the actual
packaging.
