Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Am I right in assuming that the idea
is to make 1.34 the svn stable branch and the current CVS HEAD the svn
development branch?

After all the only other way to move towards Beman's process would be to
allow bug fixes only on HEAD until it becomes stable, whenever that may
happen. Suddenly the first alternative becomes way more attractive :-)
