Only if you're doing new-feature development at the same time that 
you're fixing bugs. For the main trunk of CVS (HEAD), only bug fixes 
are allowed. If you are developing new features, create a branch and 
work on those new features there... bug fixes will likely have to go on 
both branches. However, I would prefer that effort be spent fixing bugs 
rather than developing new features, so that we can get this release 
out the door.
