I think the correct question here is why has a perfectly routine version
bump for components included in Fedora been submitted as a 'feature'? If
GNOME 2.28 is a feature, isn't KDE 4.3 a feature (oh, I see it is too,
lovely...), kernel 2.6.31 a feature...every new version of everything in
the distro a feature? What benefit does applying the feature process to
a routine update like this bring, to offset its clear inconsistency?
