Do you have a specific feature in mind, that you'd be uncomfortable
developing on a 23.x trunk?

The one example I can think of, right now, is the window groups feature,
assuming its implementation turns out to require big changes in the
window-handling code.  But IIRC, one of the proposals to implement
window groups was surprisingly non-invasive and self-contained, and I
think it could be done in a 23.x trunk.
