If we want good marketing then we need good features as the first step.

If the argument is that it doesn't matter if a feature gets punted to
the next release, then we can punt the marketing also. We will collect
both the feature and the kudos soon enough. If we try to collect the
kudos early all we do is set the expectation that you need to wait
until the release after we announce something before it is fully
usable.
