Ports quarterly branches

[Ben Woods]

I also wonder how that works. For example, I presume there is an attempt to
ensure most of the ports a building successfully prior to the quarterly
branch?

A gnome3 dependency stopped building the other day, meaning the gnome3
metapackage was no longer available to install. Would be a bit harsh to
branch a quarterly branch at that point. If it did, can people then still
commit fixes and security updates to the quarterly branch, or is it frozen?
