Well, Darrell and others make a good argument for creating a 14.0.0 branch at
RC1. Development continues on head/master and only critical/blocker fix commits
(and any cherry picks from continued development) can be merged into the 14.0.0
branch for RC2 and then one more cycle for the release.

Has merit. The git gurus will have to figure out how to do it and manage it.
