I think this is an excellent idea. A serious application could be developed
without having to worry about coding something that will expire in the
future. I think this is important because Gnome will continue to grow and
change forever, but there needs to be a stable base the applications
programmers can depend on.

Maybe this could be expanded just a bit. There are two reasons to exclude
something--a new experimental feature (as you mentioned) and something that
has been deprecated and is likely to go away in the future. Maybe another
macro that would prevent or allow the return of deprecated features? Just a
thought.
