All we need to do to fix #1 is clarify the policy which the Feature
Wrangler seeks to follow and help administer. It has always been a
percentage to measure the completeness of implementing the feature as
described on the feature page.
We seek to been feature complete (100%) or "testable" (no percentage
defined in the current policy--this would address #2) at Feature Freeze
so those features can be tested in the test releases (Alpha & Beta).
