 > 4. Features '''do not have to be developed in plugins'''. We have never
 mandated this. While it's certainly preferred in some cases, it's not
 necessary in others. This "requirement" should be case-specific. In this
 specific case, the site logo UI is very similar to site icon (a successful
 core feature) and to Jetpack's site logo feature. No, Jetpack is not a
 "feature plugin for core" but it is a great place to watch features
 progress and decide if they should migrate to core. There is nothing wrong
 with pulling features from Jetpack as we're doing here. Further, features
 in Jetpack see higher usage than any feature plugin we've ever had.
 > 5. I don't actually see anyone making this explicit argument, but I
 wanted to address it. With core committers developing this feature and
 reviewing code quality, this really shouldn't be an issue. The speed of
 which something is developed does not indicate its quality.

 To be fair, I'm not suggesting this be developed first as a feature plugin
 ''just because''.

 I'm suggesting it be developed as a feature plugin first because the
 process implies iteration has occurred, with a result devised from a
 combination of unbiased core consensus, gathered data, and user testing in
 an open forum. Development and iteration (even by core developers and
 designers) inside the Jetpack/WP.com bubble doesn't qualify as unbiased
 consensus, in my opinion.

 Please do not misunderstand my motives in suggesting we take more time to
 iterate. I think this feature will be a huge hit with the user base.
 However, I'd like feel like we got it right the first time.
