Why? There's plenty stuff that's chugging along in development but ought
to be processed at less urgency / by different people, than the stuff
targeted to be committed soon. It's already frustrating to contribute to
postgresql for new people, but if they don't get feedback for half a
year because they submitted around December / January it's almost
guaranteed that they vanish.  Additionally, there's an increasing amount
of development projects that are too large to complete in a single
cycle, and if we just stop looking at them for half a year, they'll also
not succeed.
