I don't think there's a hard and fast rule, I think though that a lot
depends on how invasive the new feature is.  People typically don't like new
things that deal with the filesystem, and FreeBSD just went to CAM not too
long ago, which upset a lot of people (particularly when favorite drivers
broke under it)  I suspect that they are taking this particular feature more
slowly than usual.  Certainly, if Soft Updates had been introduced back in
the 2.0.X days
it probably would have gone in without comment.
