That's helpful, thank you. I think it would also be helpful -- not
just for me, really for FESCo, storytellers, and the community at
large -- to know how the features fall into categories:
* Must be finished (modulo expected bugs) for F25
* Expected to finish for F26
* Nice-to-have but not a set time/release to finish
If there are some clear trends in things users ask for that aren't
planned (anti-features?), we should collect those in the same place to
set proper expectations. I suspect these may be spelled out in one or
more design docs somewhere but need to be collated somehow.
Sorry to respond to myself, I realized a wrinkle I didn't call out.
We should make sure that completion measures are clear. Take for
example this Wayland feature:
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wayland_features#BLOCKER:_primary_selectio...
What does 100% mean here? How is that related to e.g. WebKit
consumers/users? Again, a matter of setting expectations for what
"done" means so it's not a moving goal post.
