Good point.

Note that this is somewhat dependent on the Zope version.

In Zope 3, we make much less use of development branches because:

1. We prefer increments of change to be small.  (This might be
    a useful goal for Zope 2 as well.)

2. We have far more tests:

    a. New code is required to have it's own tests

    b. Tests must always pass on the trunk or on
       release branches.
