I prefer a variant on this.  Branch 2.14 now and apply only
patches to critical problems to it.  That will at least prevent
new bugs arising from new code.  Continue to allow development
in 2.15 unrestrained.  Do not start GOP or GLISS until 2011.
That allows time over the holiday period for critical bugs
to receive attention, permitting (hopefully) a release of
2.14.0 early in 2011.  Announce (to development) a target date
for releasing 2.14.0, say 15 Jan 2011, to encourage work on
bugs, translations, docs, etc over this period.
