Now we use next versioning scheme:

'master' branch have all features and bugfixes. Numeration of 'master'
tags is: 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.7.3, etc
Period of releases: 2 months (plus/minus few days)

'4.7.0-stable' branch will have only bugfixes (and may be some new
_stable_ features). Numeration of tags: 4.7.0.1, 4.7.0.2, 4.7.0.3, etc
Period of releases: 2 months, or after 100 commits, or after critical
bugfix.

This will continue until 'master' and 4.7.0-stable' branches will be
compatible (for cherry-picking or for apply patches manually). In future
at some point of time we will release out 4.8.0 and versioning scheme
will repeated:
master: 4.8.1, 4.8.2, 4.8.3, etc
4.8.0-stable: 4.8.0.1, 4.8.0.2, etc

Branch 4.7.0-stable still alive until 4.8.0 release out.

IMHO, this is good proposal for LTS-distros (will ease maintenance in
downstream distros)...

Emmanuel, I think, better candidate for translation it's a
'4.7.0-stable' branch.
