Summary

Features

• Stronger Hashes - Features/StrongerHashes

 Many FESCo members were concerned with breaking preupgrade and yum
 upgrades from f9->f11. The feature owner was directed to see if this
 could be avoided and revisit the feature next week.

• Architecture Support - Features/ArchitectureSupport

 FESCo tabled this to revisit this next week. There were questions
 about OLPC support and LSTP client machines. Discussion to continue
 on fedora-devel list.

• Crash catcher - Features/CrashCatcher

 FESCo has approved this feature.

• SystemTap Static Probes - Features/SystemtapStaticProbes

 FESCo has approved this feature.

• GCC 4.4 - Features/gcc4.4

 FESCo has approved this feature.

• vmware-requirements, and other 'crutch-for-proprietary-software' packages

 FESCo has decided this is not acceptable content for Fedora.

• FESCo needs to determine whether ovm is acceptable content

 FESCo re-iterated that this content is fine for Fedora, but something
 in Fedora should be able to use it before adding it to the
 repository. Providing it without a way to use it would be a bad user
 experience.

Special Session

FESCo will meet in special session next week to review features. Time and date to be determined.
