I don't believe we will be able to get all the patches pre-approved and maintain a pure linaro-trunk anyway. For me the main value of SVN branch is an ability to make my work visible to GCC community and give them an opportunity to review the patches (or express their opinions) without asking them to do that explicitly during early stage 3.
I agree with this statement. My understanding is that a goal for Linaro is to work upstream as fully as possible, and if that is the case then I think an upstream SVN branch is the best way to do that. It's also the simplest for an upstream GCC developer coming to work on Linaro.
So, fundamentally, we have to choose whether we want to work as much as possible upstream (using an SVN branch), or whether we want uniformity across Linaro projects (using Launchpad).
