I disagree.  I would strongly prefer to see the branch merged in as soon as it is fully functional and deal with any cleanups in documentation in the trunk.  PNT represents a major increase of functionality for Jikes RVM on AIX (where our syscall interception strategy doesn't work) and I'm very interested in having this available.  I also think there may be a significant increase in our chances to get a 2009 SoC project if at least one of the 2008 projects had been successfully mainlined.
