Pulling from a branch is OK with me, iff

* I know about it
* the branch to pull from remains static, i. e. it doesn't change with
  every other pull request.

However, I think that what I pull from is considered themost  stable,
best  tested  branch,  so to me it makes sense if this is the "trunk"
where everybody else is pulling from who is interested in  a  certain
tree.

That's my thinking - if you tell someone "get this from the xxx
custodian repo", they will most not be looking for branches.

Always try to do things in chronological order; it's  less  confusing
that way.
