Re: RFC: Hob 1.2 design

[Joshua Lock <josh@linux.intel.com>]

Hi Belen,

Thanks for clarifying.

Shane - I noticed at least one bug has been closed because the second 
video didn't show the features (#1804) - seems like this isn't what was 
intended by features 'disappearing' in the latest video.

Cheers,
Joshua
