+All branches with the prefix `release-` are considered _stable_ branches.
 
 After every minor release ([semver.org](https://semver.org/)), we will have a new stable branch for that release, managed by a [patch release manager](./release.md#release-management). We will keep fixing the backward-compatible bugs for the latest two stable releases. A _patch_ release to each supported release branch, incorporating any bug fixes, will be once every two weeks, given any patches.
