I don't think there is any reason to tie the addins to trunk releases.
Now, clearly, the addin creator will want to specify *clearly* in a
README file, or something of the like, specifically which versions of
OL are compatible with the addin. But the whole idea of this endeavour
is that they should be independent little creatures, released and
maintained separately from trunk.
