The master branch is where development takes place: - it may contain kickstart files that are broken, or - spin concepts that are in the process of being approved by the Board (trademark approval), or - spin concepts that are in the process of being approved by the Spins SIG The release specific branches contain spin concepts that: - are approved (both by Board and Spin SIG) - maintained for the remainder of the release cycle When kickstart files are added or removed, Makefile.am should be updated to reflect the change.
