Don't know if this makes sense (I haven't worked with them much), but 
why not use Zope versions for proposed changes, so that they're 
"quarantined" for a short comment period?

It seems like this would keep the site relatively stable for visitors, 
allow interested parties to see exactly how the changes would look and 
behave, and make implementing the change as easy as abandoning it.
