 From the summary I have read from that proposal, it doesn't provide a 
solution for how to develop changes that need more than one release to 
land while things are changing underneath them. The proposal essentially 
ends up syncing the big changes so that none can span the last release of 
one series and the first of the next series. I can see that being valuable 
if someone was going to use that last release as the basis of a long term 
support release, but otherwise it seems to just limit when we can do 
changes that span releases.

I'd rather we spent more effort on how figuring out how we can efficiently 
develop changes that will take longer than one release to get done.
