A I was against this, some further thought made me realize, it's the
only way for PLD. As mentioned above, ppl don't develop AC-branch
anymore and it's obvious - we're not commercial, so nobody needs to
maintain outdated versions.

"Always in development" is the way for us, but doing this (for TH) needs
some thought and writing some conception:

      * define a new way of making 'stable' freezes for ISO (when to
        freeze)
      * come up with a way of planning drastic changes for next stable
        freeze
      * agree on periodical freezes (once a half year?), or event based
        (new GNOME/KDE, new gcc etc...), or PLD way - when it's ready ;)
      * define an upgrading fashion: we guarantee that one step upgrade
        is always possible (like freeze 1 upgrade till 2, but not till
        3,4), which means that having an old iso would need to d/l all
        further isos and upgrade version by version, or better, find a
        way of making upgrade possible through many freezes (which
        implies inventing a way of freezing ensuring this will be always
        possible)
      * advertise this change outside

As for AC - ppl report installer working and I do have now few machines
AC and I think they work good, so as for me +1 for release now.
