The main counterargument I've heard repeated against this approach
is that the project teams feel responsible for the quality of
changes merging to those branches, and don't believe that lightly
tested or nearly untested backports (from an integration
perspective) adequately represent their quality standards. They'd
rather close out the branches completely than have to explain that
they contain basically untested backports (communication that they
further fear will fall on deaf ears, leaving users angry or hurt
when they discover it for themselves the hard way).
