[platform-debug-dev] Work in progress

[Jed_Anderson@xxxxxxx]

I propose that all new features that can be enabled/disabled should be
forced through a "work in progress" phase.  The JDT UI team already has
something like this.

We should add a "work in progress" section to the debug properties.  It
will have a flag that turns the work in progress options on.

New features that can be turned on/off should be added to the "work in
progress" area.  Each of these should have their own check box so that they
can be turned on/off separately from the rest of the "work in progress"
options.  After a feature has been tested for a while, it should be moved
to its final destination.

This is how I see the properties page appearing:

[ * ] Enable work in progress items
     [ ] Super step filtering
     [ * ] Mega exception handling
     [ * ] Exactly what I want feature

By default, the Enable work in progress flag should be disabled.  This
makes it possible for us to test the work in progress without exposing
ourselves to a tsunami of bug reports.
