The problem with feature-based releases is that one feature can delay
releases arbitrarily, so a single feature can hold all others hostage.
Rather I think we need to be willing to remove or disable a feature in a
branch if it proves problematic. If an addition causes regressions that
are not resolved promptly then that addition might be removed or
disabled. This levels the playing field: features that doesn't cause
regressions can be made available in a release in a timely, predictable
manner and are not held back by more problematic features.
