Me too, for that matter. I think json rpc was a major thing to do witch 
went well; but maybe drew resources from other features and testing.

But maybe new features do not need to be scrubbed but implemented later 
on for upgrades? For instance, some software vendors allow new features 
for X.0 releases only for new installations. Only after they are 
confirmed working regression - free a X.1 version is released witch 
enables upgrades from X-1 (existing customers).

Bottom line, I hope for planned 3.6 features like SR-IOV and pci 
passthrough/vfio will not be postponed :)
