I agree that this is just quite hard to achieve. Even when started well 
in time: when the process is slow, and substantial changes are done 
after some time (all the case here, IIRC), you may run in time problems

Plus that maybe working with the feature brought as experimental, 
reduces the (understandable) temptation to release a feature when the 
release date is close, in stead of when it's fine enough.
