Blindly accepting features are unacceptable from QA stand point and arguably
minor release updates should be kept out of the feature process
An important part of this proposal is to make the mailing list
announcement and time for discussion mandatory; that would actually
significantly increase the visibility of many features. Also, the
feature would not be accepted "automatically", only "by default" -
anyone, including QA, could move the feature into the "full" process.
