Comment 1 for bug 612391

This came up in a sponsorship review session at UDS, and there was just a brief discussion on IRC. It's an annoying problem for the sponsor queue after a release because there are often quite a few bugs targeted at the release which don't make it in.

We could

  - retarget all branches to either -proposed or the next release when a release is hard frozen or at initialisation of a new series
  - (idea from wgrant) create a 'development' series (but then what happens to these lp:ubuntu/release/pkg branches?)

are either of these feasible? I guess retargeting to the new dev release is the most elegant/correct solution
