FWIW I have been using the Gnus trunk for over ten years now (closing on
twelve, I think), and except for when lars were rolling releases, there
has never been a time with bleeding edge work hasn't been ok to do on
the trunk.

If you are going to do big changes, it's much better to let them loose
on a bunch of testers as early as possible, instead of sitting with them
on a branch just testing them yourself, and then committing them
big-bang to the trunk.
