Actually, it's been a good policy so far, and has translated more
closely to, "When there's no major bugs left." Right now, the biggest
showstopper is debian-installer, though anything on the
release-critical bug-list that gets posted weekly to
debian-devel-announce can also be considered to be holding things
back.

No, but it appears you need to be non-profit to realise that
implimenting these should not involve compromising what makes the
product good.
You like how Debian is rock solid? Wait for the release. Like debian
but need something more modern? Go to unstable, but don't say we
didn't warn you not to.
