I'm in favor of allowing new branches until the actual EOL, with the
expectation that it will be a pretty rare occurrence. We shouldn't preclude
ourselves from providing support to a supported release.
Tangent nit-pick... Once an update has been created for a branch, why not
at least allow it to go to stable? Seeing my packages stuck in testing for
eternity bothers my OCD until I push enough updates I don't see it anymore.
