Just a note FWIW -- this was a future feature to which I made frequent
reference in interviews and other press hoo-ha for the F10 release.
It would be great to point to this as part of the F11 press push, and
clearly indicate how we deliver on the tech promises made earlier.

Thank you to the Desktop and RPM developers who made this possible!
This is an area where the free software desktop shows its stuff as a
truly user-friendly environment.
