That was the case until 1.0, but I don't think that's really the case since the 1.0 release, let alone later ones. That may have taken off again due to the 1.3 delays, but that's not a trend.

Point releases are supported, with clear changelogs and migration paths and available from pypi. They're really much easier to work with than trunk.

What would be the advantage of using Trunk, rather than the latest stable version? Are we just talking about getting new features a bit earlier?
