The last thing you want is to bring instability to branch with a merge
from trunk. But if you don't merge from trunk frequently, merging to
trunk may not be easy. We usually merge from trunk once a week
with a known good revision which has no "make check" nor SPEC
CPU 2K/2006 regressions on platforms available.
