One thing about Git is that it has a more laid back notion of what is "trunk"; you'd end up with more a blurred distro, with -maybe- the Y! production scheme, the Cloudera branch, the steves-modified-branch, etc, etc -with people able to pick and choose which to merge in. There's less of a trunk+branches, more just a set of branches.
Yes, but trunk is what we share as a community, our consensus reality. We should be careful not to overly fragment our community. We can't vote on a blurred release. The ASF development style will change, better embracing tools like Git, but we should change it slowly and cautiously lest we lose what we value.
