Would it make sense to have the feature owner define what "complete
enough" is going to mean when the feature is targeted for a release?
Something the Feature Wrangler could approve, perhaps?  Sure, there
might be some unexpected things requiring revision, but most of the work
would be front-loaded, and exceptions can be dealt with as that.

With an up-front expectation, at least everybody would be singing off
the same page as to what 100% means per feature.  There's such variation
with upstream release dates before and after Alpha that it's hard to see
a single set of guidelines that will cover all cases.
