ACK.

we should have "network:osmocom:release-xyz" feeds for each of the releases we
create.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to have git branches (as opposed to tags)
for those "overall project releases".  This way we could actually - if needed - add
fixes or other backports to the respective release branch in the repository, and 
the OBS builds for that release would simply follow those branches?
