Since Axiom is and very likely will be for a long time rapidly evolving, I
suggest to use yymm versioning.  I was hoping that trunk would become usable
(i.e., very close to wh-sandbox) soon, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Gold is currently completely uninteresting for me and my math colleagues: no
working HyperDoc, many important algebra fixes are missing, etc., etc.

I have the feeling that "trunk" and "branches" is somewhat unfitting for the
Axiom project.  Currently, wh-sandbox seems most useable to me.

(Waldek: the only remaining thing on my wishlist is to have out of the box
aldor support)
