But it could cause problems *not* to. What if I want to make an 
out-of-sync release of just my tools for some higher build drivers? If I 
were to make a release, wouldn't it be reasonable for the user to expect 
that *that* work is in trunk and not in a branch?

Not that I genuinely see myself as that ambitious, but, one of the 
promises was that we'd be able to make out of sync releases, those that 
don't time up with the product. If I were to push forward on ganymede 
and make a release tomorrow (obviously hypoethetical) and people 
downloaded it and wanted to view the code, it's reasonable for them to 
expect the newest release on the newest drivers is being done in the 
main trunk.

Or is this a wrong assumption?
