For Collections it makes sense as there's a big API change planned.
For the others, I think they should charge in and see what kind of API
changes are required. If we're talking small ones, then I'd prefer not
to. I continue to not think that the next major version of a jar has
to kill itself over backwards compatibility (ie: what's the point of a
major version).

Any need to make the branch?
ie) Wait until you need it; as long as you have a tag of the latest
release you can always branch from that.

I'd move the new package one to 3rd rather than 1st.
