As an added note, the following Feature pages have not been updated.
They
need to be updated before Beta or they will be dropped as Features:

What exactly are the consequences if a Feature "will be dropped"? It
sounds a bit like a threat and as something bad. But is it really?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Dropping
Since the beginning of the feature process we have referred to it this
way. To date this is best motivational technique we've been able to
find to get people to update their feature pages. We'd gladly accept
suggestion for something better :)
"dropped" essentially means it won't be advertised as a key feature of
the release on this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/FeatureList
No where does it say the package has to be removed from the distro if
the proposed feature isn't completed in time. We had some examples in
Fedora 9 where this was the case.
What for example will happen if the owners of the feature GNOME2_24
don't update the page. Will rawhide switch back to Gnome 2.22? Won't
Gnome 2.24 be mentioned at all in the release notes? Will it not get any
QA? Will we stick to Gnome 2.24 in F11? Will Spot send his nijas (¹)?
