I use this(i don't call it Mikado or use the idea), its much easier than rebasing your development branches on whatever was last commited. Breaking things down into simple components is possible even for big things, just add them as pieces of 'alternative path' and when its ready switch to the 'alternative path' for testing. The 'old path' code then can be removed later, also piece by piece to avoid breaking stuff.
