OK,  I guess the question I should be asking is, is there a branch based
on  version  1.2.0  that  will  have  critical  bug and security patches
applied to it but not experimental/new feature code changes.

It  would  be  the  equivalent of what OpenBSD calls the patch or stable
branch  http://www.openbsd.org/stable.html  essentially  it's  what  one
would want to track on a production system.
