[Grok-dev] when "trunk" becomes a distribution point: disaster?

[Brandon Craig Rhodes]

I note that lots of projects, including Grok's trunk, pull
"bootstrap.py" directly from its "trunk", which is what my "buildout"
introduction web page suggests as well.  Is this wise?  Should it
instead have a "tags/current" or "branches/current-release" directory
that's copied to each time a new stable version comes out?  It seems
that the current arrangement makes it impossible to do any development
on "trunk" like a normal project, because the "trunk" version is the
one that every needs to keep working.
