Maybe the Linux project was not the best example, because as you say, it has commercial funding. So rather look at the Git project then. It has many many branches (though only a select few are made public on a public server - for end-user convenience). The Git project also has a "stable" branch, an "experimental branch", a "fixes / maintenance" branch etc. All managed by a single person (Junio) - not being paid for the job. And that single person still has time for his own development too. All I'm saying is, choose the right tool for the job. Not every tool is good in every situation. So maybe SubVersion is partly to blame for the workflow issue Juha mentions. Just a though.
