As pointed out, this already isn't the case for the many projects
currently following this model, especially those which branch
earlier in the cycle. It's also a bit of a puzzle... basically every
new release you tag on the stable branch could be your final
release, so how do you predict in advance that you won't need
additional patches?

I guess you could make every new tag in stable prior to the release
a semantic versioning "feature" addition (even though it's really
just patch level fixes), so you branch at 14.0.0, and then decide
you need some fixes and tag 14.1.0, and then realize you need more
fixes so tag 14.2.0, but then after the coordinated release you only
increase the patch level of the version to 14.2.1, 14.2.2 and so on.
Is that basically what you're suggesting?
