That is what we decided in ML discussion while deciding the release model for tempest plugins [1]. With independent release mode, we face the issue of not having the compatible versions of all Tempest plugins which user need to run on against their production cloud.

Yes, it's a weird corner case that we regularly rediscuss when we
(re)discover it does not fit well in our traditional
cycle-with-intermediary box.

I feel like having an extra stable-branch-type will help us remember
what to do with those and avoid mistakes.
