Yes, it is. As if you're up-to-date on master you'll have less work to
to when a release is branched off.
Sure, for the transition period it is more work, and if your
completion rate is low, it also might not be worth bothering, but:

Not really.

How is that different? "On special request". That's still the same.

The main point is this what follows that quote:
"Changes you do on master will be overridden when you request copying
from 4-4. So either do any merges yourself, or don't complain
afterwards."

If you don't want to use master, don't use master. If you request a
merge to be done by pootle-admins, they won't bother to merge changes
that happened on master, but just overwrite everything with whatever
source you request.
