I don't know ;)

One visible thing is the version-name: my clients could be
afraid if the read '4.2.4-dev' ...

Maybe sometimes there could be a patch, that makes things worse ?
And will be reverted later on ... this could lead to broken
Typo3-Installation for my clients for some days ...

Do _you_ think branches/TYPO3_4-2 is save for misusing it as an
auto-update ?

What do other (core-) developpers think about this ?
(I'd like to know what Dmitry thinks about this ...)
