Yes.

The tendency : to add enhancements carries the risk of actually creating new bugs in : stable which is obviously not what we want to have happen. Exactly. We shouldn't be merging features at all, unless there's a compelling reason, the code has been reviewed by at least two people and it has had at least a month or two in current. If you can't find two people to review the code, then you can't merge it to stable due to lack of interest.
