I agree with that. My concern is that the zip release will be missing a lot of files compared to the SVN 'release'.
For future development, I'd prefer to keep most of the changes in the trunk, and reserve branches for features which might disrupt other work done on SSU and bugfixes which need to be applied to the trunk and releases. The trunk is pretty stable already, and I don't see a need to maintain it as a 'tested complete version'; if we're going to create a tested complete version, we may as well release it.
I think it would be better to start developing every new feature for SSU in a branch and eventually integrate it into the trunk once it is not breaking it.
Also, we should include some stubs into SSUs source code for getting some fake constant data from subsystems that are not yet in use. When a new feature is done, we just replace the stub by the subsystem.
