I've taken psarc-ext off of the cc list, since this seems off-topic for
the case.

I think "perfect as possible" is an overstatement.  "FCS quality all the
time" certainly allows for phased deliveries.  And I would argue that
there is some room for putting back something in order to get feedback
and experience that we can't otherwise get or find a substitute for.
IMO opinion the criteria means this (no more and no less): anything we
integrate into the trunk, it should be something we're willing to ship
to customers.

Yes, this would definitely be a good thing to do.  I can already think
of one suggestion (don't wait until the code is "done" to have the ARC
review).
