Currently 3.N+1.0.0 do not exists until it's been branched from trunk.

Nah, more on that later. I still have hope on getting the work flow I
desire wrt trunk. Current have some rather stupid limitations.

Which special cases?

The only special case I am aware of is the limitation that langpack
should only be built from trunk. And this will stay a special case no

What other special cases are you thinking of eliminating?
