I'd prefer to see them applied to the trunk as well, unless it's a
significant amount of work to do so.
Plans (and workloads) change, and big replacement/rewrites sometimes
don't happen. Going through changelogs (much) after the fact to try
and find missed trunk->branch or branch->trunk patches is a nightmare.
