I updated us to trunk a day or two ago. Everything we need is there. I
also emailed the Storm mailing list about releasing 0.15 as all
targetted bugs are fix committed. Looks like that is proceeding.

I've been doing my best to make the egg name map onto a branch name.

No.

We already are running 0.15 pretty much.

I want us to stick with Storm trunk, or else when we need to extend it
or provide bug fixes we will be forking. We should be doing Storm work
upstream rather than locally and backporting later (which is unlikely
to ever happen). Storm isn't a big enough project to support multiple
lines of development.
