Description Jim des Rivieres

Improve feature model and build support. The current nested feature structure 
is static and unconditional. This makes nested features hard for developers to 
manage (version brittleness, platform-specific feature ids) and greatly 
increases the download size of service releases. We should allow all included 
features and a feature's required plug-ins to be conditionalized, and improve 
PDE to build nested features and fill in constituent version numbers at build 
time. [Platform Core, Platform Update, PDE]

Fixed. New PDE-Build has been released into latest integration builds.
Closing.
