Only if you're doing new-feature development at the same time that
you're fixing bugs. For the main trunk of CVS (HEAD), only bug fixes
are allowed. If you are developing new features, create a branch and
work on those new features there... bug fixes will likely have to go on
both branches. However, I would prefer that effort be spent fixing bugs
rather than developing new features, so that we can get this release
out the door.
