Why not? There's no branch or feature freeze anywhere in sight.

If you commit a safe bugfix for a problem that exists in Emacs 23.2,
consider committing to the emacs-23 branch, not to the trunk; it will
get merged with the trunk later. And there's a request from Stefan
and Yidong to commit either to the trunk or to emacs-23, but not to
both. This is to make the merges from emacs-23 to the trunk a bit
less painful. That's all, there are no other rules. How's that too
complicated, I don't see.
