This must be a hard-testing process. If it needs time -- spend it.
Nothing else will make the distro's quality better.

* Have you tested the transparent upgrade from non-feature branch to
feature-branch in a chroot environment/hardware box/virtual machine?
* Did you ran cleanse --nofix to figure out about missing libraries and
duplicate files?
* Did you try to rebuild the whole system (possibly >500-600 spells)
to make sure everything compiles fine? (this is mostly about updates
like glibc, glib2, and other essential stuff)?
* Have you checked for missing UP_TRIGGERS to make sure upgrade won't
brake other spells?
* Have you tested your box after all (booted fine, checked programs
which depend on updated-spell/require-it-on-compile-stage, etc.)?
* Assure to provide an option for an end-user (e.g. 1) to use feature
X; 2) not to use feature X; 3) to add feature X manually (if requires
some configs' modification for example); and so on).

If everything is 'YES', then feel free to merge in test, otherwise it
won't get in test, which regularly becomes stable.

For example recent libffi upgrade has broken several boxes. libnotify
spell also needs UP_TRIGGERS, and still noone took care about that [0].

As for kmod, here's some note [1], and I've been talking about such
practice for months.
