Do you have a specific feature in mind, that you'd be uncomfortable developing on a 23.x trunk? The one example I can think of, right now, is the window groups feature, assuming its implementation turns out to require big changes in the window-handling code. But IIRC, one of the proposals to implement window groups was surprisingly non-invasive and self-contained, and I think it could be done in a 23.x trunk.
