Dear MXE team,
Thanks a lot for the discussion. We have a pretty clear picture here:
- Nobody voted for option 1).
- Option 2) was preferred by some, but no volunteers were found.
- Option 3) is the way to go.
So I hereby retire the stable branch!
https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/dde74e19cfa6210df7b14bbbef9bf1e4e3869c45
I also updated the documentation. Please have a look at the new
history entry and feel free to correct any mistakes:

To all committers (the core team), please adjust your .git/config
so that every push to "master" is also pushed to "gh-pages":

Regards,
Volker
