If we are discussing Changes, we should call them Changes. The word "feature" is natural in this context, but carries with it the connotation of the now-defunct Features process. I have a similar tendency to use the word "runlevel" for example, and make a conscious effort to use "target" as the correct term.
The Changes process in and of itself is a notable organizational accomplishment. I see no value in obscuring our process for the sake of using the familiar and overloaded "feature." Let the readers find it strange if need be; it is a new thing, and this is the way of all new things.
