There is a proposed Feature that connot be completed because kernel module
packages are prohibited in Fedora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtualBox
The Feature Wrangler told me, that the current feature process[0] cannot
handle this situation, because feature pages hang around until they are
excepted. But I guess that infiltrating FESCo to get kernel module packages
back into Fedora is not was is expected to finish the feature. ;-)
So if only FESCo can adjust the feature process, please update it to include
the case of unfinishable features.
I don't see a problem.
If the Feature owner cares enough to keep proposing it, then FESCo will keep
reviewing it. Technical items change over time. Perhaps the VirtualBox
module will make it into the upstream kernel and the Feature will be viable.
Or perhaps a future FESCo will revist kmods.
If the Feature owner doesn't care, then they can delete the page. Either way,
I don't see what the problem is with having it sit in the FeaturePageIncomplete
category.
