Yeah, that's a valid management question. Either way, I can't stop anyone from
ignoring the release branch and working on their feature branch.

Also, if the release branch doesn't close its bugs and reach stability, it
will delay the next release (when your master changes reach the world), so
that is some incentive, yes?
