Sorry to respond to myself, I realized a wrinkle I didn't call out.
We should make sure that completion measures are clear.  Take for
example this Wayland feature:

<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wayland_features#BLOCKER:_primary_selection>

consumers/users?  Again, a matter of setting expectations for what
"done" means so it's not a moving goal post.
