Hi Nicu,

The current feature list is indeed a little bit .. ahem... lacking on the end-
user front, you're right, honestly.

The creation of Fedora's marketing talking points is mostly an ad-hoc process 
done by, well, anyone who is interested at all, marketing, or ambassadors, or 
infra, or design or... :)

So, I guess the question then, what do *you* want to see that attracts "end-
users"? :) Granted, Fedora 14 won't ship Firefox 4 (your biggest 
disappointment I'd guess, based on your blog post[1]), but there has to be 
*something* that users will care about? Anything new in microblogging on the 
GNOME end? What about in evolution or gnome-games or ...? (I'm just listing 
off random ideas... I'm not a GNOME Desktop Edition user, and probably dont 
have much to give to the "end-user" experience discussion outside of the KDE 
Plasma Desktop Edition release.)

I think that's more of a FESCo decision, correct? I'd assume that it'd be 
taken out, and the fallback provisions (shipping GNOME 2, basically, with 
GNOME 3 still labelled as "experimental") would be followed...

All the best,
Ryan
