I guess I'll work with 3.x for now until some 4.0 feature makes me move to trunk. For the next few months, re-indexing is not a problem, but once in production one index directly under my control will be updated quarterly (maybe monthly) with new content, while other indexes will be updated by 3rd parties at arbitrary times. Those indexes will maintain cumulative results of those updates and it will be more of an issue to require a 3rd party to provide the totality of documents to re-index from scratch. Not impossible, just not desirable.
Once I get more comfortable with Solr as a solution, I need to look more into index replication, backup etc. :) Thanks for your suggestions on the versions.
