Can we count on the fact that the SVN branch will be synced from time to
time to the mainline ?

I mean on http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html, one can read:

plugin
    This branch contains work for a plugin infrastructure in gcc to
    enable additional checking work. This branch is maintained by Eric
    Christopher echristo@gmail.com and will be merged with mainline from
    time to time. Patches will be marked with the tag [plugin] in the
    subject line.

There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
