In fact, we worked on this in the last Marketing meeting, and the one
previous, IIRC.

We tried to find a round representation of those features that:

* provided compelling stories of interest to the lay press that tends
  to cover Fedora, showing off new features in which we had a
  significant hand developing

* indicated the continuity of feature planning, allowing us to show
  that Fedora is engineered for the long-haul, not patched together
  with quick fixes

* indicate the future across the platform, including end-user
  functionality (PK, PA volume), business relevance (virt), and
  collaboration strategy (Moksha).
