My experience developing for account creation and login says otherwise. Quite
simple and not at all outlandish design changes there took us way too long to
get merged.

Developing in core has a (necessarily) high barrier for quality and an implied
requirement that what you intend to commit is more or less intended to be
permanent. A draft namespace is a new idea that's somewhat experimental, and we
intend to approach with an eye toward testing out what is going to work for
authors or not.
