I don't think this is going to happen, for a few reasons:
1) branch_3x no longer exists in the current repositories. Neither does
branch_4x. The current stable development branch is branch_5x.
2) The 3x branch was deleted a LONG time ago. The amount of change in
trunk since then is *enormous*, so the merging will NOT be clean. Conflict
resolution will be manual and very tedious.
3) Almost all commits on a stable branch like branch_3x are already in
trunk, because that's how we do development - changes are applied to trunk and
then backported to whatever the stable branch is at the time. I would be
willing to bet that almost all of the changes you have listed here are already
in trunk. This fact probably causes even more merge conflicts than the age of
branch_3x, and means that most of these changes are completely unnecessary.
4) This patch is HUGE. Nobody will agree to merge anything unless it makes
a discrete change that can be easily analyzed to determine what's being done
and how it benefits the project. Very large changes must be broken up into
much smaller changes.
