That was my understanding too but I think I got a little bit lost in
translation while reading the thread.

All in all, I think that's a great idea, if for example my laptop gnus
could sync with my desktop through a tramp method once in a
while. (unison experiments were painful to put it mildly :P)

However, in order to get people test stuff, changes have to be carefully
planned and rolled out. Mail are precious to most of us. And towards
this I'm asking this one thing:

How often and when is the gnus trunk pushed to the emacs bzr trunk? (I
know that it happens, albeit I have not found any specific information
on these stuff).

Knowing the answer to the above will help me to understand which trunk
to follow, because, you know, following two different moving targets is
already complicated and prone to errors.
