Branching structure for IcedTea7 forest for updates

Hi,
Now that jdk7u2 is out, we need to start thinking of updating the
icedtea7 forest with the changes.
Currently we have icedtea7-forest (HEAD) and icedtea7-forest-2.0
(released).
For 7u2, I propose committing changes to it icedtea7-forest HEAD and
then branching it into icedtea7-forest-2.2.
I realize that this skips 2.1, however it makes the versioning cleaner
as we end up with a 1:1 correspondence with JDK update numbers. The same
can apply for IcedTea7 itself.
Thoughts/objections/other ideas?
It will be nicer to eventually just make it icedtea-forest-<jdk ver>.x
(e.g. icedtea-forest-8.x for jdk8) but that will need more discussion
as a corresponding 'icedtea' already exists.
Cheers,
Deepak
