So there are 2MB worth of differences in the Java code between trunk and
v2.3.  Some of the 2MB are overhead in the diff format, some are license
headers, some are refactoring, some are more substantial and functional
changes.

I am *not* willing to effectively accept blindly changes of roughly 15% (and
that's only the current stuff, not including major new development) of a
stable codebase.  I *am* willing to go through it with everyone, change by
change, and decide what is reasonably safe to add in the short term, and
what needs much more attention for a later merger.

Well you don't need. Like Stefano said.. We can "split" development. I would focus with stefano on trunk and you and others can do the merge. I will help for sure if any problems raise.
