Comment (by Ipstenu):

 > I'd almost prefer to remove the ability to release from /trunk/
 entirely, and instead, add a UI button for "Release version x.y" that
 Checked the trunk files versions were correct, tagged it for them, and
 then updated the trunk Stable Tag readme field for them.

 My biggest concern there would be miles of re-education.

 Second biggest is ... how does that take into account readme only updates
 for WP compat?

 Our own checks would need to improve greatly and make sure the tag doesn't
 _already_ exist, etc. but that can be done.

 > Remove their need to deal with svn cp trunk tags/1.2 (since most do it
 badly anyway)

 Ouch but true :D (I mess that up too).
