I'm not disagreeing, but my concern is that if we start applying changes to the 
trunk to support branches we can end up maintaining a large amount of code that 
might not even be used.  The maintainers end up needing to track branches to 
know if they're active, and if a branch ever falls off, then a fair amount of 
work needs to go back into cleaning up the code.  I don't think that most open 
source projects go this route.
