Should I bump the version on this branch to 22.1.50? Yes, please do so. In a recent email, Stefan suggested that we should not restrict 22.x development to bugfixes, but also include new features if the new features are not too invasive. Do people agree with this approach? We can put in a limited set of new features, but only if they are really important as well as safe. As for the trunk, should we begin merging the unicode branch in? Let's wait a couple of months. I think it will be easier to move some changes selectively to the Emacs 22 branch if we have not included unicode-2 in the trunk. As of now, any change in the trunk would work in the branch. After unicode-2 is installed, many changes will be done differently, and they won't work unchanged in the Emacs 22 branch.
