Well, whatever the list ends up being, "let's wait until we have some
more features" isn't a tenable scheduling policy. We learned years ago
the folly of delaying a release until not-quite-ready feature X was ready.
Are we going to delay 9.5 until not-even-proposed-yet features are ready?
More abstractly, there's a lot of value in having a predictable release
schedule. That's going to mean that some release cycles are thin on
user-visible features, even if just as much work went into them. It's
the nature of the game.
