No, it is an option on the command=line as well as described further down in
the article I posted a couple of replies back.

If I understood Bertrand, the results of the poll will be binding, so you
have to work within whichever plan wins.

I hope the develop branch will hardly every match trunk completely because
it will be containing changes not yet ready for primetime because we'll have
lots of active committers. My understanding of the Git Branching model is
that trunk is essentially a mirror of a non-broken release branch so I don't
see trunk being broken under that plan.

I am not an expert, but my undertanding is that cherrypicking doesn't cause
merge conflicts although it could result in something being broken if you
miss an important revision. But that should be found in testing of the
release branch before it gets merged to trunk.
