 there’s
    always 3 branches. For example when we release 7.3, we
have stable = 
 latest

   the new
N.4 release is released (i.e. N.4.1) and then do the switch.
 * Proposal 2: Keep previous N-1.4.x LTS till the next cycle’s first 
 stable
  release is done (i.e. N.0) and then do the
switch.
 Proposal 2 is safer (it allows more time for having at least 2 bugfix
 releases of the N-1.4). It means a bit more work since it means 
 continuing
  to merge bugfixes to N-1.4.x a bit longer.
 I personally have a preference for Proposal 2.
