I never had any problems with 1. But I wouldn't be against 2 either. I
think 1 is simpler for developers, as they then only need to have 1
branch (HEAD).

Whichever it turns out to be, I'd vulonteer to do backports, 'as
always'.

I'd volunteer to maintain 2.2.x as well. Feel free to pick other
candidates though.
