We have a few decisions here. 1) Jorn's sandbox idea would probably be a snapshot of the current trunk. At least that is what I think he is proposing.
2) Your idea is also possible... with a branch, then we also have the ability to work and keep two branches up to date if needed. The 1.5.3 branch could be patched with critical fixes we develop in the trunk and allow us to release more... kinda like what Apache HTTP server did with 1.4.3 and the newer branches. Only problems with it are (a) how long do we maintain the branch and (b) it becomes a management workload to determine what goes where and when to release. I'm going to think about it for a bit.
