It's also a great way of signalling not only that the developer wants it to
be part of one of the production release suites, but that the community also
wants it to be. I tend to think that gnome-scan, for instance, would receive
community support right now for entering the Desktop suite *at some point in
the future*, but isn't quite ready.

Having a home for these efforts is a fine way of pimping stuff to contribute
to. We could start doing GNOME Love projects around this set of modules, so
new hackers have something cool to work on but won't be stressed about their
work impacting production modules.
