If it is not ready, it should not pollute trunk. Think of this as an exercise to prune things unlikely to ever be hashed out completely. Why put off the inevitable and force this set of issues on the 2.7.x maintainers down the road? We have a sandbox; things that must still be proven up need to be moved there and pruned sometime in the next 10 years, if then.
