I'm kind of confused. Have we switched from wiki -> trac for some
features and not others?  Could you please elaborate a bit more?

What is a system wide change vs a self contained change vs a new change?

I see some features going to fesco as a ticket.. some requiring a wiki
page (which has yet to be created for f20..) So I'm a little confused.

Say a bump to MATE 1.8 is that a self containted change? IS
Enlightnment a new feature proposal? Could you please provide some
more definition and structure? I think all features should still be
documented on the wiki.
