But we can't add any features! It drives up the test matrix to appalling sizes and makes testing impossible!

(Actually, speak of the devil, I mentioned Emacs earlier but Rockbox is another example of a project that has huge numbers of features but somehow does not suffer a catastrophic testing collapse. This despite also having huge numbers of targets and having variable sets of features implemented on different targets. Maybe you should give the GNOME people a few lessons!)
