Greetings. 

Fedora 14 was a pretty relaxing and stable release. I'm thinking that
Fedora 15 may be much more exciting. ;) 

Things I know of so far: 

* systemd 
* gnome3 / gnome-shell default
* removing a bunch of suid stuff in favor of capabilities
* xfce 4.8 (with any luck). 

Things that are out there, but no idea if anyone is working on them or
if they might be ready by f15: 

* grub2 (no one is driving for this that I know of, but has some
  advantages over our grub1 if someone is willing to run with it, although
  it may be a lot of work to get it to where we need it). 

* btrfs (Is this ready to be default? :) If so, would that warrant a
  change in our lvm by default setup? 

* Can we finally remove hal? (xfce4.8 shouldn't need it anymore with
  any luck). 

* Will NM finally be able to do bridging? 

* Some kind of packaged wayland to play with, even if it doesn't do
  much?

Any other exciting work in progress that might land in F15 that people
are actively working on?
