I am not sure if it is a good idea to add a new port to the release
branch. I understand that the release branch is more stable than
the mainline, which also means it may be quite different from mainline
and a patch based on the release branch may not work on mainline. On
the other hand, I have been trying to make the mainline as stable
as I can. I have been making the Linux binutils releases off the
mainline, which should be as stable as the release branch, if not
better, at least on Linux.
