Question is, do you consider the fact that bugs are introduced & discovered
(possibly with pain) a sign that the system is broken, or a sign that the
system is working?

I sense that Andrew worries that if work has to land on a feature branch of
this feature branch, it won't get eyeballs.

I sense that Joe worries that if we land everything/anything in Android-4.0
it will become unstable, as mistakes are prone to happen (see i.e. recent
issue with black background).

Personally, I prefer eyeballs and instability to delayed discovery and a
sense of stability, especially for a feature branch like Android-4.0.
 There are workarounds for demos (i.e. create your own branch off of a
known working version), but its not as easy to solve the eyeball problem.
