I'm not sure exactly what you're objecting to here. My current plan
looks like this:
/-- /--
/ /
/---0.9.n+1--//---1.0--1.1--//
/
/-- /-- /
/ / /
------0.9--------0.9.1----//---- 0.9.n
\
\
\ /--
\ /
\-------//--1.1.1----
Do you want the big branch to come _after_ 1.0? If so, I'll think
about that. Of course, none of this is set in stone. Or even in
peanut butter. :-)
