It&#x27;s better than this actually.  If they want a release by Christmas I can with, high certainty, tell them:<p><pre><code>    Features will be in: A, B, C
    Features likely to make it in: D, E
    Features unlikely to make it in: F, G
    Nope: H, I, J
    Hell No: K, L, ..., ZZZ 
</code></pre>
The problem I&#x27;ve always found is that, no matter what, you are going to be arguing with sales and management about E, F and L instead of them just working with A, B, and C.
