 Feature Backfilling
 ===================
 
-Sometimes it is necessary in the OpenEmbedded build system to extend
-:term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` or
-:term:`DISTRO_FEATURES` to control functionality
-that was previously enabled and not able to be disabled. For these
-cases, we need to add an additional feature item to appear in one of
-these variables, but we do not want to force developers who have
-existing values of the variables in their configuration to add the new
-feature in order to retain the same overall level of functionality.

-"backfill" these added features into existing distro or machine
+Sometimes it is necessary in the OpenEmbedded build system to
+add new functionality to :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` or
+:term:`DISTRO_FEATURES`, but at the same time, allow existing
+distributions or machine definitions to opt out of such new
+features, to retain the same overall level of functionality.
+
+To make this possible, the OpenEmbedded build system has a mechanism to
+automatically "backfill" features into existing distro or machine
 configurations. You can see the list of features for which this is done
-by finding the
-:term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL` and
-:term:`MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL`
-variables in the ``meta/conf/bitbake.conf`` file.
+by checking the :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL` and
+:term:`MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL` variables in the
+``meta/conf/bitbake.conf`` file.
 
-Because such features are backfilled by default into all configurations
-as described in the previous paragraph, developers who wish to disable
-the new features need to be able to selectively prevent the backfilling
-from occurring. They can do this by adding the undesired feature or
-features to the
+These two variables are paired with the
 :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED`
-or
-:term:`MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED`
-variables for distro features and machine features respectively.
+and :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED` variables
+which allow distro or machine configuration maintainers to `consider` any
+added feature, and decide when they wish to keep or exclude such feature,
+thus preventing the backfilling from happening.
 
-Here are two examples to help illustrate feature backfilling:

--  *The "pulseaudio" distro feature option*: Previously, PulseAudio
-   support was enabled within the Qt and GStreamer frameworks. Because

-   adding "pulseaudio" to :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED` in
