Meaning we lose a bunch of potentially very cool features, and seriously
hack off the developers who put significant time and effort into them,
in some cases producing numerous updates based on ongoing discussion and
feedback over a number of months.

And then in 8.4 we have the same problem...

I think we just have to accept that we're gonna have a long feature
freeze period, and ask people to help review whatever they can.
