Any futher 23.0.xx pretest(s), and the 23.1 release, will come from the branch. As currently planned, we'll use the trunk for developing 23.2. But if a bugfix-only release proves necessary (e.g. if serious bugs come to light after we release 23.1), we can change course and make 23.2 from the branch while bumping the trunk release to 23.3, similar to the original development plan for the Emacs 21 series. Has anyone given thought to the branch tag? If we follow previous conventions, we'd name the branch EMACS_23_BASE, but this is somewhat misleading.
