I like the way you're looking at specific usability goals, although
the last one made me think that perhaps some of the goals could be
higher level, e.g.:

 - doesn't provide incentives that reduce our ability to get prompt
   feedback from nightly users (e.g., by delaying code landing)
 - doesn't provide incentives that reduce our ability to find
   regressions via bisection (e.g., by merging landings together)
