With respect to all "features" mentioned. That's why it's no longer called the Feature process. FESCo is an engineering committee and has no business determining if something is a Feature in an upcoming release of the distro. That is a marketing task. The new process focuses on technical changes within the distro and whether those changes require cooperation between maintainers or additional help or oversight. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
