I agree that the bar for merging should be high but at the same time we should lean more heavily on feature flagging which is also a very common software industry practice. This would allow an operator to enable features that are deemed risky for production use. It creates a faster feedback loop and will reveal issues earlier in the development cycle. It might actually avoid big patches but that is a topic for a different thread. Dinesh
