+1. Exact same feelings here. While I obviously can't speak for
everyone, for me in this particular instance the issue is simply that
session management is something that's very nice to have, but it's not
really a feature that's all that exciting to try out in an incomplete
state. Whether it lives in a github branch or a "blessed" branch is
irrelevant. I would further argue that developing it in some form of
R2 free for all branch like you propose would probably make me even
less likely to try it since the nature of what you're proposing there
would probably imply that a whole lot of other things would also be
broken, which leads to Stephan's point. I very much like the idea of
feature branches focused on a specific thing since it means that if I
go try it out, I know exactly what that particular branch was focused
on changing, while the rest of the system would be left alone.

+1.
