Who made up that policy? And why?

I don't think it's a good policy. It is very unlikely that people want 
to mess up the trunk right after the first beta. I'd prefer a policy 
like that::

  After the first beta of the new feature release is made, we
  create a new branch for that feature release as soon as necessary
  (rooted at the trunk right before the first non-bugfix checked in).
