done so already) to the mailing list to start discussion.

I've talked to rbergeron and decided to take the task of fixing the Feature
Process.  We've known for a long time that the Feature Process provides
a useful service but at the expense of aggravating the people implementing
features [sometimes unnecessarily], annoying the people deciding what's
a feature [often unnecessarily], and without always achieving the
collaboration needed to make release happen without slippage and/or last
minute fixing of feature-driven brokenness [seems like at least every other
release].

These and other problems were collected by rbergeron and other impacted
Fedora contributors on:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fixing_features

I'll be working on taking those identified problems and turning out a new
Feature Policy that FESCo can approve which addresses those issues.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Oh, sorry, got overly excited there for a minute.

Next steps? Timeline? Where is communication going to happen? :) I know it's been mentioned at times that having a FAD to tackle this at some stage might be faster/higher-bandwidth, but I leave that ball in your court.

Thanks, Toshio, for taking this one on. :)
