several libs/apps all at the same time. But, I think one thing we'd need to figure out is how to culturally support someone working on a feature like that to have a branch, get that branch tested, and be able to promote their work.

Ted, any examples?
Of features? I think that GTK3 was a hard one for GNOME because of this problem. It doesn't really make sense to break applications slowly, and as a result GTK APIs didn't get cleaned up like they needed to be (to maintain compatibility across the 2 series). Effectively, because the APIs exposed to much, it was hard to innovate in GTK which made it stagnate some.
