Sorry, I wasn't clear. It may be that some set of new functionality requires
small version upgrades. The feature is the new functionality, not the
version upgrades.

An example: I want to propose Scratch, the educational programming language,
as a feature for F19. It's not big, but it's popular and there's a new book,
generating public interest so it'd be nice for it to be included in the
process. Scratch itself is a new package. But it requires an update to
Squeak VM in order to work properly. This is incidental to the feature
itself -- so it'd be weird to classify this as an update to existing
functionality -- but the feature isn't "self contained".

That said, a significant version upgrade to something _should_ be able to be
a feature in itself.
