+I guess it is handy to track the big changes and really ensure everyones
+aware with the change. I am planning to make GNOME depend on systemd,
+not sure if that should be another feature or not.
+
+This I really want to add:
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome_shell_software_rendering
+
+There is also stuff we can steal from Fedora. Stuff that I found
+interesting:
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RealHotspot
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReworkPackageGroups
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/tmp-on-tmpfs
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RPM4.10
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsermodeMigration
+
+Possibly controversial:
+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove
+
+Also, with latest NetworkManager, it seems you can do pretty advanced
+network configurations (lacks UI). The UI is planned for GNOME 3.6.
+However, seems that loads of Mageia users have issues with
+NetworkManager, so not sure what to do. Perhaps safer to wait a year and
+hope that other distributions solve the bugs?
