because fedora does announce features for code which is
not written because some not so smart guys really believe
it is possible to write, debug and finalize this in a
6 month release cycle which is nothing else as lost reality

that happened with:
 * pulseaudio
 * KDE4.0
 * GNOME3
 * systemd
 * anaconda

all of them where proposed and accepted as feature based on the
hope it could be working and useable to the end of the release
schedule instead REJECT ANY FEATURE which is not basically working
only left with minoity cleanup/fixing/debugging/polish
