Why not? :)

Right, but how does this get merged in to 4.2.4?
At the moment (in theory), we work on trunk, we copy to branches/4.2.3
the first time and then merge to branches/4.2.3 on subsequent releases.
Then when 4.2.4 comes along (or 4.3.99-RC1 or whatever) we update trunk
appropriately and copy to that version.

You're welcome to create /branches/4.3 and use it for experimental
packages.

Right but as I explained, they /don't/ sit in /branches/4.2.3 at the
moment because upstream doesn't release them all at once under one
version tag. Likewise the goodies.

No, this is the date of the Dapper freeze:
