I think this should, as common courtesy, go back before FESCo > next week. Here's what happened, in its entirety: - David wrote up the Feature page - It was not discussed at FESCo for a period of time, as it was pretty obvious from the commentary both on the desktop list, and in the page itself, that it would be changing the defaults of the desktop spin against the wishes of the Desktop SIG - The feature wrangler brought up (on the FESCo list) last week that FESCo owed David a response, rather than keeping the feature open without any response - Ergo, when features came up during the FESCo meeting, I mentioned that we should tackle this then, so that he had a response - Discussion and vote then followed Note also that this was the last meeting before beta freeze, and therefore the absolute last chance for features to be approved, period. So holding off for a longer period wasn't really practical. Could it have been handled better? Absolutely. But given that FESCo was already being lambasted for *not* having voted on this feature, I can only shake my head in rueful disappointment now that it's being pilloried *for* actually voting on the feature.
