Understood.

However, don't forget that you can always make changes to the trunk as well 
as the branch, and then merge them later :-)

And... without wishing to point fingers... Serialization currently accounds 
for about half of the outstanding regressions at 
http://boost.org/regression/trunk/developer/issues.html, so I guess we need 
to make some sort of decision whether 1.35 will contain:

1) The Boost-1.34 version of serialization (in which case we should revert 
the Trunk for the time being).
2) Current Trunk version (plus fixes?  Looks like many of the failures have 
a single cause?)
3) The current development branch version that you're actively working on.

Which we go for much depends upon Beman's schedule, so over to the release 
manager I guess ;-)
