No. The Linux Kernel uses release branches. This thread is specifically about rejecting the use of release branches.

Releases are created off the master. Only if something is supported for long a branch is created where only fixes are backported, no development happens there.

What the GP suggested I assume is one master-like branch for every deployed version. Otherwise it makes no sense.

The point remains. The Linux branching workflow is vastly more complicated than what GP advocates.
