There's no need for synchronization.  GDB and binutils, for example,
that have large common parts and live in the same CVS repo, are not
released at the same time.  At some point, the maintainers of each
separate project decides it's time to create a branch for a release,
stabilizes it and releases it.  Meanwhile, all other projects proceed
their development in the trunk.
