It doesn't sound that good to me.

That's basically a feature-driven approach -- "we want these new
features".  The problem with that is that we have no way of knowing
whether people will actually do the work to implement the features
or not.  To a large extent, this is where we were way-back-when
before 3.0; we tried to wait until stuff got done, it always took
longer than anyone expected, while we were waiting other people
wanted to add in more stuff, that other stuff was buggy, etc.

Right now, we have a window in which to merge branches.  If you're
ready, you merge; if you're not, you don't.  We successfuly merged
some major technology that way for 3.4.
