Well, there are people who cvs update from the DRUPAL-5 tag, which means they can't get your module. I had a bug posted to my issue queue about that. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Maintaining 2 branches when you only support one Drupal version is a serious pain, IMO, and it's beyond a lot of developers.

I feel the same way. And if you're trying to keep track of bug fixes for 4.7 that leaves you with two branches and HEAD. I guess the realistic way to do it would be develop live on HEAD and then back port to the DRUPAL-5 branch.
