I also don't really see the benefit(s) of this change. To me, it seems
a lot easier to just adjust the logic that generates the package
statistics to use the next branch when it is available. The rest of our
existing workflow can continue to work as-is. It's already confusing
for some of our contributors, if in addition to that we keep changing
our workflow for gratuitous reasons, it is not going to help.

So I'm not really in favor of changing the workflow, unless there is
some clear benefit to it.

Best regards,

Thomas
