I disagree. If you merge code to main you immediately lose all control over how it will be used later. You shouldn't ever ship something you're not comfortable with, or unprepared to stake your professional reputation on. To do so is profoundly unethical. In a functioning engineering culture individuals who behave that way would be personally legally liable for that decision. Real professions--doctors, engineers, etc.--have a coherent concept of malpractice, and the legal teeth to back it up. We need that for software too, if we're actually engineers.
