Summary

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"

• FESCo gave initial approval to make cvs tag immutable. Before this would go into effect, rel-eng will investigate the most common uses of force-tag, and create ways of mitigating the problem leading up to a force-tag call, as to eliminate the need for force-tag.
• For: bpepple, tibbs, c4chris, nirik, warren, dwmw2, jwb, dgilmore
• Against:
• Abstain: f13, spot, caillon, notting, jeremy
