I'm thinking that a new features menu might be a good staging area.  Have them 
be in that menu for one release, and then move them to another menu the next 
release.  (Right now, new features you find either by going exhaustively 
through the menu, or by asking other people.)  But I'm open to suggestions.

Speaking of which, I need to finish the release announcement...

How should I put this: e2fsprogs needs a lot of "tough love".
