I'm +1 for this as it helps us also to merge much easier from one branch to
the next, maintaing only master, alpha and beta branch.
But while I'm writing this I think we just use this kind
of 'branch-building' recently, don't we? It's a long time ago we built the
production pages with a non-master branch; to check the branches of all our
sites quickly we should make our table, which has to be updated constantly,
more visible.

Yeah, that's really a priority for our greek, turkish and norsk friends :)
