Yes, this [RFE](http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/ddc948cff9781daa) describes
that. There are only:
- freescan: relative date with ordinal month and relative weekday (early
it was rather undefined behavior).
- I've introduced an optional tokens, for example zone (`%z` resp. `%Z`)
is optional now (can be switched off);
- additionally scan/format token `%Es` introduced to parse or format
local seconds (in opposition to `%s` for posix seconds);
- value `-now` will be accepted as clock value for format or add
functions, e. g.:
```
clock format -now -f %u;
```
I don't think that this minimal "enhancements" would block the release
it in 8.6.

Some things are just per design, thus not really separable (e. g.
decision rules are logic-based now, no more priority-based, see ticket
[e7a722cd35](http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview?name=e7a722cd35) ).
But I thinks, this can be classified rather as "bugs", not as
"enhancements".

The only thorny one is the "new functionality" part.

If it can, the logical thing to do would be to get the performance upgrades into 8.6.x (no TIP needed) and the new stuff onto the 8.7 development line (TIP likely non-controversial, provided that it makes sense).
