Yes, there is a difference between a feature actually being packaged and 
in rawhide versus being advertised as a new feature in the next release 
of Fedora.

The process to have a feature included as part of 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList calls for a 
completed feature page following this template 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Template to be presented to FESCo 
for acceptance.  In most cases this is just a formality to make sure 
everyone is in sync.

More about how the process is intended to work and the philosophy behind 
it is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy

I hope that helps.
