Sorry if this is obvious, but what is the next branch

Simply put, the next branch is even more bleeding edge than the master. 

Bleeding-edgeness: next > master > maint

- maint :: gets published to Org Elpa, etc. Right now the version there is 9.1.x. This branch only takes bug and doc fixes right now
- master :: this is the soon(TM)-to-be released Org 9.2 version. This has quite a many features (including few breaking) on top of Org 9.1.x. As this version is planned to be released soon, the plan is to not touch this branch for the time being as it gets tested out more. Touch this only for doc and bug fixes for Org 9.2.
- next :: This branch is open to all sorts of commits. Changes here won't be visible until the next to next major Org release (probably 9.3?). 

In general, you would always commit to the most stable branch first and then merge that to the next less stable branch in succession. 

The less stable branch always contains all commits (as-is or merged) from the more stable branch. 

It isn't mentioned on worg in the developers section either
(https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/index.html).

My understanding is that the next branch is not a long term thing.
