It does happen that we're using a bound branch for trunk (that's the
recommended setup), so again, you're arguing pretty convincingly for
an hypothetical situation, and I'm discussing the here-and-now.

The fact that huge, successful projects are developed with
non-distributed VCS seem to indicate that your opinion is just that,
an opinion.
And no, I'm not saying I prefer CVS or Subversion to Bazaar or git,
because I don't. But the model we're using is one where there is a
preferred, centralized branch, and the distributed features of our VCS
are for the convenience of the developers, not to suddenly force some
kind of distributed model of Emacs development.
