I think what he's looking for is what other (I'm primarily familiar with
OpenBSD)  repositories  call  a  "patch  branch".  In  a  nutshell its a
derivative  of  the last 'stable' branch with only important patches and
fixes (that address security or crashing issues) applied.

If  I'm  interpreting  the  forthcoming Asterisk Development and Release
Cycle  strategy  correctly  such  an  animal wont exist until v1.4 is in
place.
