I would suggest that unless we have some form of "real blocks"

We shouldn't branch. It should be enough to exclude o.a.c.core.osgi, 
the knopflerfish libraries and the osgi-servlet bundle when creating 
the distribution. We could also move o.a.c.core.osgi from the Cocoon 
core to some other bundle if it simplfies the release work.

My view is that we can incrementally introduce experimental versions 
of the parts of the block architecture that doesn't depend on OSGi in 
the 2.2.x releases.

Thank may be ok for now, but once 2.2 is "formally" released how do you 
keep it stable without creating a branch.  We should be able to add new 
and interesting stuff to the trunk without affecting the supported release.

While 2.2 in "milestones", there is no need to branch. But once 2.2 final is 
released, we definitely should create a maintenance branch. Hopefully its life 
will be shorter than 2.1 branch...
