yes. You can go ahead with branching/staging from our point of view.

Are we done with THE BIG RENAME? If so, let me merge 342637 to master,
branch 0.12.x and stage both 0.12.0 and 0.11.1. We need to branch before
any new development starts.

As for eclipse-update-site, I believe it is quite different from
eclipse-repository. First, update sites only include "included"
dependencies, i.e., m2e update site only includes m2e features/bundles
but does NOT include m2e dependencies. Second, update sites can include
multiple versions of the same feature, i.e., m2e 0.10.0, 0.12.0, 0.12.1
and 0.12.2 can all be included in the same update site. Based on our
Eclipsecon discussion, I believe new repository descriptor format is
required before these can be supposed by eclipse-repository packaging.
