But the trunk model is powerful because it is *centralized* and because
it *avoids* forking. Don't confuse the technical ability to fork with
*desirability*. What I hear people saying in this discussion is "oh,
this will be so great, we can all just fork like crazy". It is the
attitude about the desirability of forking that I object to.
It is *not* desirable to fork.
