Great idea, thank you for your thoughts!
It reminds me of the Debian Enhancement Proposals [1], which aim to
solve a similar problem.

I have only one remark at this point: By definition, a project has a
limited scope and time frame, so at some point it has to end. For
things like /usr-merge, or any other transition, this is a good fit.

Adding features to Debian which require permanent additional
maintenance is more akin to supporting a release architecture. The
associated project would be the "incubation phase" where said
feature gets introduced and its viability proven, and one success
criterion would have to be the formation of a team that commits to
the required maintenance work for the future. Similar to the release
architectures, features should be evaluated at release time and
discontinued if the team can no longer provide the required support.


Cheers
Timo
