Does this mean 5.2 is in alpha release?

How does this impact package developers who have been using oacs-5-1? Should we be working off of oacs-5-2 now?

Is there a recommended way to transfer a package version from cvs oacs-5-1 to cvs oacs-5-2?

This branch includes the whole tree, isn't it?

Should we still commit bugfixes to oacs-5-1 and oacs-5-2? or oacs-5-1 shouldn't be used anymore?

5.2 is in Alpha.

Package developers working in 5-1 should continue to work in 5-1 until after 5.2.0 is released. At that point, they can merge their work from 5-1 to 5-2 and start testing against 5-2 core.

Package developers starting new packages should use 5-2.

The branch does include the whole tree.

For core, you should commit bug-fixes to 5.2. You should only commit 5.1 core fixes for critical core bugs.
For packages, commit bug fixes according to the same rules as development.
