Hmmm - I don't see that happening at all.  Developer's want to
get their stuff to users.  In fact, I expect some anxious developers
will want to see their stuff merged into the stable tree before its
tested because "its a trivial change".

What I like about this proposal is that makes developers work
easier instead of adding to it as other proposals do.
