Of course, it should be integrated. But it must be disputed how to trigger the 
release? Also, how to maintain multiple versions? E.g. one stable and one 
development. Should they be maintained in separate directories? If so, a 
synchronization tool would be nice... A lot of questions, but I believe 
there's a good basis in the end :)

It's essential :)

Won't it result with still growing number of branches? I think it's not 
necessary, I prefer the previous idea. Witch svn, everyone can just send a 
patch to the author.
