IMHO, it would be better if the main trunk was always the most current
development version.  This way, people who use CVS get to test the
most current version -- that's what CVS is here for, right?  Also, I
think we expect the 5.8/5.9 lines of development to be rather short,
no?

I think this is the first time that a major release is begun while
using CVS, isn't it?  If it wasn't the first time, we could have
looked at how it was done previously.

Another thought is that maybe we would like to do it like Emacs does
it.  So, how does Emacs handle the branches?
