Well, the point is not that one should say "no", but assign 
priorities (and degree of certainty) to 
features/enhancements/fixes and attach them to milestones that 
gives a predictable path to a series of stable release.

So, "no" is not a good answer, but "not for release X, if this 
goes in it should be designed along with feature Y which is 
planned for release Z" is an answer that might encourage people 
to create a proof-of-concept-prototype without expecting it to go 
in right away.
