So if a patch is pulled from 'master', then I assume that the derived 
patch which will be applied to the branch will always be posted to 
this list?

As far as cramping Gary's style goes, Gary (only used as an example 
here) is prone to making large changes, and these changes may soon 
render 'master' useless as a good source of patches for stable 
branches.  A goal of a new versioning system should be to uninhibit 
creative people while somehow keeping everything manageable in order 
to make periodic releases.

Perhaps libtool will become much more stable into the future? 
Libtool has a long history of substantially morphing as new major 
releases are developed.  Maybe libtool is to the point where only 
portability and maintenance fixes will be required, or perhaps we will 
enter more rounds of substantial development.
