This is not at all about "releasing it when it's finished".
It's about "releasing it when it's in a state that is worth to discuss".
There's been always either "draft" or "proposal" in the headings, for a
good reason.

And it's NOT about working behind closed doors.
I simply don't want to pollute d-d-l with something in a VERY early
stage.
Sure, we could have discussed every of my approx. 70
not-even-alpha-status iterations of the roadmap (see the history
function of the wiki) before I made it available for public discussion
&& called this officially a "draft", but I really had better stuff to do
than discussing playgrounds.

Cheers,
andre
