T stands for Trunk (cco says "technology"...sure). That is the way I 
have always seen it. Everything else, including "mainline" are merely 
branches.

Some branches get bug fixes only. Some branches get bug fixes and new 
sw/hw features.

Usualy specialty features migrate back to the trunk. Often trunk 
features are backported to branches.

The confusion arises because some of these branches featurwise are quite 
older than their brothers who are similary numbered, but not lettered.

Personally I like the system and hope it doesnt change (much) in 
response to "confusion of the uneducated masses"
