That you don't withhold other development while waiting for rc1,
rc2, rcN, ... - other patches, including disruptive ones and those that
introduce new features, can be applied in the meantime to trunk/ .


Nutch trunk has "kind of" being in a state where no modifications are
allowed fow quite a long time already before Chris started his work. If the
branch is done based on those argumnents it should have been done a
long time ago.
