We will have some little maintenance burden, as we will need to push to
two branches concurrently.

However, I find rebasing patches that do not apply cleanly painful..
when we release 4.3 and decide to land ~50-100 patches of fixes that
didn't belong there, it might turn out to be a huge pain.

I'd much rather go with the separate branch approach, as Nathaniel suggests.
