       | One problem with software projects is that their end-users are
       | not a fixed set. The beneficial features in the end determine who
       | will use the software. But if a feature is not very useful to the
       | targeted user-base, then it might be useful for some other users.
       | And you're not trying to limit who could possibly benefit from
       | your software.
       | 
       | So features bring about the idea of the user-base, and user-base
       | brings about ideas how to improve the features, which again
       | slightly changes the anticipated feature set, and offers
       | opportunities for new features for additional users.
