No, I think you misunderstand me, or likely I was simply not clear.
There are many ideas that seem great conceptually and even seem
reasonable in the short term once implemented but that later cause
concern.  I'm referring to being able to actually incorporate a feature
in such a way that the community can try it out readily and easily and
yet be able to refuse it in some reasonable time period (weeks at
least).  While an implementation in a bug report is a great thing, it
clearly is not sufficient.  Take the recent example of Traits and the
changes to the Class system utilizing Traits.  The issue is still open
on these and yet how long have then been in released images?
