I remember a sequence Thunderbolt, Hickory, Phoenix, three cancelled streams in 
a row which raised many eyebrows. I don't remember what was to be in them or 
why they were cancelled. The good thing about the build system is that things 
propagate forward, so a minor change unrelated to the major features of, say, 
Thunderbolt was checked into Thunderbolt, it would have gone forward into the 
next release and the next... Part of the magic in something like this is 
manually setting things in cancelled projects to propagate/not propagate as 
necessary.
