I'm happy with any policy that we can agree on. Right now there's  
none, and that leads to confusion.

I'd suggest a policy where a CMF maintenance branch points to the  
head of a GS maintenance branch, and when a CMF version is tagged its  
external is "frozen" at that particluar SVN revision for GS. There's  
no need to make a GS tag for a CMF release I think.
