This reminds me a lot of Intel's "tick-tock" method that I've grown 
quite fond of over the years.



Lay the groundwork in one version and than finish with the next.

For oVirt this could mean for example we implement new things in vdsm in 
3.6 and they can be tested if you want to, then in 3.7 they can be 
polished off (and some bugs fixed) and exposed in the GUI.

Kind regards,
