Probably a bit later.  Rather than feed 3 branches prematurely
(2.2-stable, 3.0-stable and 3.1(?)-current), I think it'd be a better
idea to work on stabilizing the single 3.0-current branch for awhile
after the 3.0-RELEASE and not have to start merging stuff right away.

Once we've cleaned up some of the worst problems which will inevitably
be reported following the release date (and more folks running this
code), I think it'll be a better time to branch the tree.

I do also realize that this will perhaps discourage some of the
"highly experimental" development that otherwise might want to
immediately follow 3.0's release, but I think there's less potential
trouble with that than there is in having to merge a lot of triage
work between 2 branches right from the outset.
