Let me make it clear that the vote is about wether or not to allow a particular type of branch which have some bad consequences. Not branches in general. See http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-dev/2005-March/002083.html for a description of the common branch types.
I did read it (otherwise I wouldnt vote)
"Bugs that that could have been fixed on trunk are annoying to trunk developers. The bugfixes that go only to the branch are not in trunk (until merged there from the branch" => trunk developers are free to ask for a merge or use ros-diffs to speed up the merge process.
"* Risk of duplicating work. We'll have more branches to track bugfixes on so it's harder to know which bugs has been fixed and which hasn't." you can use ros-svn to track it. And you can fix bugs in bugzilla too. "Fixed in branch my_branch, feel free to merge."
Do you have commit access?
