My assumption is that trunk has a better chance of being compatible
with the new version of bzr. I can't really test the plugins except
for a `bzr plugins` smoke-test.

Bear in mind that for bzr point releases, e.g. bzr 2.4.3, I only
update plugins to their latest release, I don't do the trunk switch.
It's only for major releases where there may be compatibility breaks
that I do the trunk switch for the betas.

Ciao,
