One problem is that the necessity to link to a working test environment

Nobody is asking of you to have a testable with every idea you bounce of
the mailinglist, but this does ask for a testable setup at some point
before implementing. I understand this is a pain, because it runs the risk
of rejection after you put in enough effort to make a prototype. But better
a community cry out at a proto than at a full implementation ready to merge
into core.
In other words, all discussion is welcome, with or without proto, but don't
expect final community buy in before we have been able to toy around with
it.

2. A link to a
working testing environment where the feature can be
tested. It can be labs or something like test.wikipedia. Or a feature
can be available using a preference which is off be default.
Let people test - and make it easy.
