Correction: 3.x is the stable branch, which means it gets both new features (as long as they are not "disruptive"), as well as bug fixes.
So eg the next stable release is 3.1. Then 3.1.1, 3.1.2, etc. will be bug-fix only releases, off of it. Each 3.x is free to get new features. Trunk isn't really a "research project". Instead, it gets the features that are too big/risky/disruptive for the stable branch. It's in fact quite "stable", except, APIs and index format are allowed to suddenly change, which gives the devs more freedom to make major improvements to Lucene, like flexible indexing (NOTE: I'm giving a talk about flexible indexing at Lucene Revolution in Boston, next week). The real "research projects" happen on branches, eg the real-time branch, [soon] the column-stride fields branch, etc. Branches are merged back to trunk once they are deemed stable/safe enough.
