I agree this would be interesting.

On a more practical level I'd like to hear with more specifics about
how this fits the definition of a feature as stated here

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Definitions

Does it meet any of the points 1, 2, or 4?

If it is proposed as a feature based on either or both of points 3 and
5 has marketing or anyone outside of FESCo been involved in deciding
whether this meets those requirements from their perspective? I ask
this because points 3 and 5 don't seem to be based on anything
technical.
