Sorry for the dud post; I blame gmail. Here is a better one.

The CD session at the summit actually proposed a semi-alternative
approach: land incomplete features, and have 'inclusion' of the
feature actually be turning it on by default [or documenting it as
finished for things like drivers]. In this model you actively push
back on things of size, regardless of time. Then you can better assess
the risk of each landing, and freezes can be much less about what
features are in as they are about the amount of risk we're willing to
permit for each landing.
