I know the discussion is already over, but I couldn't resist to add a
comment.

Even though at work we have featured releases every month, I managed to
convince my team to adopt the stable/default branching model just like
Mercurial does.  And I must confess it's working pretty well for us.

However, the difference is that we do have urgent fixes in stable
through the month.  And we have no code freeze at all, the merge from
default to stable and the release tagging usually happens the same day
we deploy.

Just for the record.  Cheers.
