+1. Well stated, sir.

And to clarify, the point here isn't to stop or discourage spontaneous
innovation or our ability to rapidly respond to bug reports and such. It's
just about being able to make better decisions about how to budget our time
and energies from a place of full understanding of the stated goals for a
given release, not from a place of ignorance or indifference because such
goals don't exist.
