Branching Strategies for Version 3.x

[ydah]

Should we create a 2-x-stable branch to backport non-v3 changes to while we prepare for the upcoming v3 release?

Yes

I have created a 2-x-stable branch, and added identical branch protection rules that we have on master. The master branch is now used for preparing rubocop-rspec v3.
