This is a very legitimate point. A feature is something prominent but not
necessarily eanything vital.
Consider:
Fedora 8 Feature List
Online Desktop
Bluetooth
Build ID
Codec Buddy
Eclipse33
Electronic Lab
Freedom
Generic Logos
IcedTea
Nepali Language Support
Nodoka Theme
PAM Console (remove it)
Policy Kit
Pulse Audio
rsyslog
Tickless Kernel
Transifex
Virt Security
Wakeups (fix them)
XFS (no more)
There's a risk of "Freedom: It's In There With The Other Bells And
Whistles." Or worse, "Freedom: A Feature Sort Of Like SELinux, Which
Everybody Turns Off When It Comes Time To Do Anything Useful."
But "Freedom is the Essence" doesn't have the same resonance.
And "Freedom: Not Just a Feature!" takes too much thinking to be a good
slogan.
