Currently GenericSetup 1.2 is the only version with a maintenance 
branch. CMF-1.6.1-final was tagged *after* GenericSetup 1.1, so an 
additional 1.1 maintenance branch would not help us. Therefore using 
GenericSetup 1.2 in CMF 1.6 might be the best solution.

What I really don't like are externals that point to the *HEAD* of a 
branch. Instead of moving targets we should use revision numbers. (It 
might make sense to make an exception for CMF trunk.)


Just my 2 cents.
