F9 Feature Process

 * FESCo approved the following feature for F9:
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureXULRunner
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManager-MobileBroadband
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFirefox3
 * FESCo felt that the secTool feature needed to be well-integrated and on by default before approving as a feature. They would like to see this as a feature for F10. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SecurityAudit
 * FESCo voted against the global menu feature, since this feature didn't have upstream buy-in. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GlobalMenu
 * FESCo will have a special meeting on Monday, March 10th at 19:30 UTC for any last-minute features that need to be approved before the beta release on Tuesday.

Proposal to make tags in CVS "immutable"
