Yes, this is definitely the right approach. There will be issues with trunk, it always happens whatever anyone aims for (somebody forgets to run the testsuite or something).

We should instead encourage downstream projects to not use PL snapshots, but use the frequent builds that we promote (e.g. milestones, checkpoints, promoted builds, whatever). This has the added benefit that Maven builds aren't chasing a moving target which is very dangerous.
