We talked about this a bit in the last Council meeting:

Also, the provisional version 1.1 of the JEP that I'm working on does 
include the ability to do feature negotiation:

It's not yet clear to me exactly what needs to be negotiated, for 
instance in the Council meeting Ralph Meijer suggested that it's not 
necessary to negotiate the compression levels, but others know more 
about that than I do. :-)
