Does "add" mean "package" here? Or are they to be added to some other

F30 beta is in exactly 2 weeks. I doubt "agreeing" and implementation
can happen in this timeframe. It should be OK to put in parts of the
implementation, even if things are not complete for this release.
But for "advertising purposes", maybe it's better to bump it to F31,
so that we don't advertise something that is not fully implemented?
