NOTHING. They stay there indefinitely.  The important distinction here 
is that these features are in *CategoryProposedFeature*--which means 
they are NOT being proposed for acceptance for a release.

I have been raising them here to bring attention to them because some 
people have not followed the complete process described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy and had thought their 
feature was on the radar for acceptance to Fedora 9.

For the Fedora 10 development process I will not send out these 
notifications as hopefully by then we will all understand the process :)
