Comment (by lgladdy):

 I think it's important we do try to get this into 6.9 so that plugin
 developers can ship without worrying about trying to ship copies of the
 feature plugin in their own code, because the abilities API seems to be
 the foundation AI exposure, and quite frankly, waiting another x months
 puts us all at a disadvantage.

 I've been experimenting and building against this API code since it was
 the Features API, and I suspect many other plugin developers have been
 too, so can at least vouch for the "fit for purpose" of the code proposed
 here.

 Given the importance of these APIs to end users, I suspect many other
 plugin developers are also far along in their preparation for this
 shipping in 6.9 too.
