I've created a csl-3_3_1-branch for some support work we'll be doing for
a version of GCC based off of 3.3.1. It's probably not going to be
interested to anyone except our direct customers, but I wanted to be a
good citizen and put in on the web pages. I can't figure out where to
put it, though; it doesn't really fit in the categories here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html
It's more like the Red Hat release branches than anything else, and I
don't see them there either. What's the policy for such a branch?
Thanks,

Which definitely is a good thing, thanks!

I don't think we have clearly documented such a policy so far, but I do
agree that we should, indeed, also list such branches.
How about creating a new section to cvs.html, called "Vendor Branches"
for example, and documenting your branch there? Jeff, what do you think?
Would you mind adding the rh- branches there as well?

I'm not entirely sure that Vendor is the right word here, and I'm not sure
what such branches should be called (suggestions welcome). I would like
to see them listed somehow.

Anything I came up with was worse, such as "Packager branches" ...

Here is what I committed.
I used the less-controversial term "Distributor" in lieu of "Vendor".
Let me know if there are any problems with that.
