This is not how geoapi should be operating...  It should be creating new 
versions with new features then presenting them to the OGC for aproval (as 
a set of change proposals).  If approval is not forthcoming then revisions 
would be made until a version of GeoAPI is accepted.

Stable branches of projects (like geotools 2.1) should use approved GeoAPI 
releases, development branches should be able to use in development GeoAPI 
releases (that are awaiting approval).

This way change proposals can be backed by tested implementations and any 
implemenation kinks will have been resolved in advance.
