   9. Feature Btrfs snapshots support for root filesystem: approved, but no assigned contributor yet (Akien, 21:11:05)
   10. Feature Improve installer navigation: rejected for Mageia 6 (too much work and too late), but could be considered later on if some initial work is done on mockups (Akien, 21:11:56)
   11. Feature Migrate To Network Manager: pending, depends on estimation by core devs of how much work it entails (Akien, 21:18:50)
   12. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Offer_Tainted_repos_during_installation (ennael, 21:19:04)
   13. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Packages_Used_Register (ennael, 21:31:38)
   14. Feature Offer Tainted repos during installation: pending, needs a better explanation in Simple English (Akien, 21:32:41)
   15. http://popcon.debian.org/ (Akien, 21:38:01)
   16. Feature Packages_Used_Register: pending, would be ok if opt-in, but using mirrorbrain or mirrormanager2 might be a better solution overall (Akien, 21:44:20)
   17. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Parental_and_time_controls (ennael, 21:44:20)
   18. Parental and time controls: accepted (Akien, 21:47:04)
   19. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Simplified_installation (ennael, 21:47:30)
   20. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Urpmi_redirects_if_local_mirror_unavailable (ennael, 21:50:49)
   21. Feature Simplified installation: rejected, that's just not doable. Other distros have attempted that and it was a complete failure. (Akien, 21:52:31)
   22. Feature Urpmi redirects if local mirror unavailable: pending, nothing against it a priori, but it depends whether some devs want to actually implement that + mirrorbrain might solve this automagically. (Akien, 22:01:38)
   23. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Use_mdadm_for_raid_devices (ennael, 22:02:04)

   25. Feature Use mdadm for raid devices: accepted, but to be checked with tmb's plans (Akien, 22:08:34)
   26. UiAbstraction4mcc will be a long term feature for mga7, including some look'n feel improvments (ennael, 22:26:25)
