Features

 * Stronger Hashes - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/StrongerHashes

Many FESCo members were concerned with breaking preupgrade and yum upgrades from f9->f11. The feature owner was directed to see if this could be avoided and revisit the feature next week.


 * Architecture Support - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ArchitectureSupport

FESCo tabled this to revisit this next week. There were questions about OLPC support and LSTP client machines. Discussion to continue on fedora-devel list.


 * Crash catcher - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/CrashCatcher

FESCo has approved this feature.


 * SystemTap Static Probes - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemtapStaticProbes

FESCo has approved this feature.


 * GCC 4.4 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/gcc4.4

FESCo has approved this feature.


 * vmware-requirements, and other 'crutch-for-proprietary-software' packages

FESCo has decided this is not acceptable content for Fedora.


 * FESCo needs to determine whether ovm is acceptable content

FESCo re-iterated that this content is fine for Fedora, but something in Fedora should be able to use it before adding it to the repository. Providing it without a way to use it would be a bad user experience.

Special Session
FESCo will meet in special session next week to review features. Time and date to be determined.
