I would like to discuss the status of our features for F8 at tomorrow's FESCo meeting. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList
With Feature Freeze behind us on 2007-08-28 it is time to make some decisions about what should live on the final approved feature list. The feature policy is fairly clear about features that should be dropped.
see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy#drop
In accordance with this policy it would not be out of line to drop features without recent updates or completion at 100%. Some of the more incomplete
TeX Live inclusion is marked done at 100% but it is untrue. The packages are not approved yet, and in my opinion we should not hurry. Moreover I think that giving time limits to review is bad. A review should be finished when the package is 'perfect' from a packaging point of view, not because of a deadline. In the TeX Live case this is highly visible because this is a complex package, and in my opinion it needs split up which requires a lot of work and other reviews.
