I'm sorry, but I'm missing the outrage - the feature page listed the
following things, under 'Scope':
* Package Reviews (were not fully done)
* Comps: new group with id "lxde-desktop", name "LXDE"...
o mandatory: lxde-common, lxpanel, openbox, pcmanfm
o default: gpicview, leafpad, lxappearance, lxtask, lxterminal, obconf, xarchiver
... (wasn't done)
and, under 'Test Plan':
As most of the packages are already in fedora they are proven to be stable. So we need to
1. get the 2 missing packages into rawhide ASAP so they are included in the F10 Beta
2. add packages to comps
3. test that installation with yum-groupinstall works correctly
4. test fresh installs with the beta
It wasn't even to having step 1 completed. So, exactly what else is there to
do when even the basic scope and test plan of the feature isn't ready?
