I'm not picky about the name, but perhaps there is an opportunity, here.

Historically, trunk/master is where new development has been done, and
releases of the current-latest version of Tomcat are released directly
from that branch. Perhaps we could be more clear in that our new
development branch is 10.whatever and not trunk/main/master/foo which
just happens to cut releases called 10.x from it?

Perhaps I am suggesting that we have main/trunk *and* 10.x but I
haven't really thought it out.

A short set of instructions post-migration would be very helpful for me.
