You've already been worked in to the plan :).  Your job is to
tell us how to write an API that is easily wrappable.  (Along
with any other wrapper maintainers.)

That's sort of the idea.  The problem is that we have (and will have
more) large chunks that need to be merged.  The goal is to add major
features in a piecemeal fashion, with the tree stabilizing somewhat
in between.  Whatever encourages that goal is a good.

Key features, then schedule.  Non-key features must be ready by
the freeze date.

Yes.  People are free to keep other stuff working, but if it
breaks, it won't be considered a regression.

That seems like a reasonable goal.  However, I'd prefer to have a
limit based on decision points rather than coverage.
