Yes, but what should I care about this ? I mean that doing branches,
handling releases is the job of a 'release manager' who should decide when
to freeze, what patches to accept in freezed code and stuff like that.

In my case, I would expect to work 99.99 % of the case on the trunk, the
instable branch (except, of course, if any game is in the 'supported by this
release' list and would need some bugfixing there).

For example, if DirectX is broken for 3 consecutive releases, I would expect
the people doing the release to label the old 'working' version and branch
from there if any bugs fixes are needed.

I do not want to be my own release manager ('oh this will take X months to
finish, I will branch').
