Branches are used when you want to do some development without affecting
the main tree, either because you're working on an old version, or because
you're making experimental changes that might break things, and you don't
want to break the main tree. In this case, the main focus is still potato,
so it should remain HEAD, and people who want to start breaking stuff
for woody can use the branch without causing problems with the big potato
push.
