Yeah, those codes should be put into the "staging" part of the codebase, so that (more) people can work on it to insufficient quality code with a great idea behind better until it meets the quality of the mainline kernel. As you rightly pointed out, this is a development model which works nicely with open source in an open environment where developers are all around the globe and have a largely varying programming skill. I don't think that something like this would work in a (possibly much smaller) corporate environment/software engineering group. That said, I think it's actually a very good thing, to have this opportunity to push low-quality/non-conforming software into a controlled environment for polishing.
