Wasn't it possible to develop the new things in branches to showcase
your ideas and tell the world about those new features?

Just to make things clear, this is a real question, not an attempt to
point finger or anything like that.

I am asking because, even in layers like X.org where compatibility is
key, trying things in branches and showing the world proved to have
worked quite well.
