It's not.  I can easily come up with "something that needs reorganizing" or
even with plain bugs.  I don't know how long I could keep it up, but I'm
pretty sure I could delay the release by a few years this way.

Emacs is and has always be "approximate", allowing itself incorrect
behaviors in various "corner" cases, based on the expectation that the user
will notice it.  The result is "a big happy mess" that's also
tremendously useful.  Fixing it would amount to breaking it.
