Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 My confusion around the introduction of the site logo feature came almost
 entirely from not knowing this was a theme modification. I had 2
 questions:

 * Don't we already have site icons?
 * Didn't we already have Blavatars? (We don't, FYI)

 I think "Logo" is the appropriate terminology, but I wasn't surprised that
 this feature went from suggestion to core inclusion quickly, for the
 following reasons:

 * It's already in a vetted plugin with active installations
 * It's not really very much different than the other 3 places where the
 Customizer attaches images to places (header, background, icon)
 * It's a very logical progression from other theme-side enhancements, that
 a majority of WordPress powered sites have some semblance of a logo

 With these ideas in mind, I'm not sure the number of days matters very
 much, and I don't consider feature-plugins to be a literal requirement yet
 (that debate belongs in a different place, and I hope it never becomes
 one) but it seems like this feature doesn't need very much more massaging
 to be both good for users and acceptable to us.

 The value of feature plugins, from my perspective, is it gives everyone
 the opportunity to review the idea and result. It's less about build-to-
 merge, and more about experimenting with approaches in a safe place until
 everyone feels the idea is viable. And this particular feature was already
 viable in Jetpack (and various themes have been doing this bespoke for
 years) and we all seem to agree it's a good idea.

 If any feature could feel rushed, it would be this one. It's small,
 universally accepted, and there's lots of prior art to make it less
 difficult to build.
