Indeed. I spent a bit of time on Monday going through the differences between trunk and the GIS branch, looking at what ideas can be usefully merged back and how trunk can help out things like the GIS changes. Justin is to be commended for his reasonably unintrusive design changes. They look very restricted and unlikely to break anything. So anybody who's staying away from the GIS branch because of some perception that it's less stable than trunk and they can do a better job locally should re-evaluate. Trunk maintainers (well, at least one of them) are paying attention to what's going on in the various branches and looking for ways to make things easier in the background. It's solid now and can only become less and less divergent over time.
