I'd say the main purpose of the trunk is to facilitate the development of the next release. That is only features for that release should live there, respectively features that can either be disabled easily. Other features should go into a branch. As soon as a branch has been created for the next release, the trunk is free for everything that should go into the release after that. CU, Ingo
