I don't think this is a good idea and this was a new policy just
discussed today. I'm not clear why you'd branch off stable rather than
default (with the new policy default should be pretty reliable and
pushes to stable only happen at release time).

To keep it very simple: I'd recommend Richard just update to head on
default and then do:

hg branch feature-{ticketnum}-uireview

(There is a ticket right :) ?)
