I still don't understand this model. Where should development happen?
I expect it to happen in trunk, but then it won't go into 1.1.

It now looks like we have to worry about three series: the stable 1.0
branch, the 1.1 branch and trunk. I prefer a simpler model with just
two branches: stable and development and then "branching" off the
development branch when we feel stable.
