Oh, that's just stupid. I should have deleted that else clause.

Neither.
1. The trunk needs to be tagged or renamed (e.g., to oldtrunk) so that
peoples' work checked in there is still available.
2. The 1.34.1 release should be copied into trunk/
3. We should initiate nightly (at least) testing on a known stable set
of release requirement compilers
4. People should start moving their stuff from oldtrunk into the trunk
if they are sure it is stable. Anyone who breaks tests on the
trunk should back out his changes until he thinks he has a fix.
