Well although they call it a tag it is quite possible to bump code in these tags. When a new phonon is required for trunk, for example, they could simply unlink the trunk-stable/phonon and copy the new stable phonon over it. It doesn't have to be static for all time.

I think this is so we can get closer to "summer in trunk" myself. By focusing more testing attention on kdesupport we necessarily subtract from the trunk we *should* be focusing on, /trunk/KDE. ;)

Besides which, those who are willing to do it can still build trunk/kdesupport like always. The new tag would be for those who are tired of having random kdesupport modules break their whole build. :)
