Why not consider an

That would probably be a Good Idea. Personally, I'd be happy if new
systems and re-writes of old ones were given conditional approval:
that is, instead of accepting them "ready or not," they'd be accepted
for the first release after they're complete to the point of being at
least as functional as what they're replacing. At most, there might
be a "testing spin" that includes some of the new, unfinished programs
as options so that they can get the testing they need, while the rest
of us don't end up as unwitting beta-testers. (People have accused
Microsoft for years of using their customers that way because of how
much of their new software sometimes seems poorly tested, and this is
one thing Linux shouldn't be copying from them.)
I wonder how much of this conversation is "Talk to the hand- the face
isn't interested" as far as the Linux devs are concerned.
