Okay, so clearly we need to manage expectations better.  I'd like to
find a balance between keeping people informed and getting buried in
administrivia.

Already, adding a feature entails
1. implementing tests
2. implementing the feature
3. updating the NEWS
4. updating doc/ documentation
5. submitting for review
6. updating from reviews
7. maybe goto 5
8. submitting the merge
9. updating the spec, if appropriate.

So you can see why I'd rather not add any more steps.

Sure, but our actual release notes will only lag development by 2 weeks
on average.  So I was proposing not saying anything about whether a
feature will be in a release until it's actually in a release candidate.
