Can you give examples of such features?  I've not seen this in Ubuntu on
a released system (with the possible exception of compiz, which crashes
occasionally)

Of course, I'm sure it would help if more people decided to contribute
doing testing work, and integration work, and then the cycle could be
kept the same - a win-win, as it were.
