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.)
