Talk:Requests for comment/Branching

I think I'm actually interested in something similar to you are (or at least related). I personally would really like to look into a flagged-revs type extension that works a little more like how gerrit works - perhaps over the summer when I actually have free time. However, I do find some of this RFC confusing. "Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español" doesn't seem particularly relavent - There have been thousands of wikipedia forks. While that one is important for historical reasons of being a very early fork, its far from the only fork and doesn't really have anything to do with branching. I personally don't see the connection between release tags and rev tagging. I'm also doubtful that your proposal would exactly kill view source. You don't cover all the use cases of things being protected. (Sometimes things are protected because we literally want nobody to edit them whatsoever). Bawolff (talk) 15:34, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
