Two weeks are probably a bit too short for me, especially when I want to 
update some packages to newer versions. So in that case it is acceptable to 
put a nobranch file in CVS 'need more time before branching'?

IMHO it's quite risky to have this short two week update window. Actually the 
branched software should be supported for at least 7 years. Users expect that 
we stay compatible with the first released version.

So maybe it's better to make building opt-in?
