The branch needs work, trunk needs work, I'm afraid that merging it in
trunk will get a lot of work which needs to be done in steps. I would
like to work us to work more with code reviews on the trunk,
especially if we decide to get the three parts split.

I'm just trying to avoid getting a trunk with a lot of fixing needed.

I'm not sure about telling them to use our data, but it would be great
to have a discussion about creating a common database resource for
celestial objects!
