Branching is already done for a while, now the :Testing projects are ready as well, now using "project links" which should speed up testing and building of packages, since we build in 2 modes now:

- localdep: Just builds the package and its dependencies
- standard: That is the default behaviour

In general, the preferred way is to branch from the :Testing project and submit from your branch, since we are in code freeze and change control, it is cleaner since a branch always guarantees you are building against the right targets.
