  i'll let scott :-) reword this how he prefers, but in the dev
manual, there's this in section 5.10.6.1:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#testing-packages-with-ptest

     EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "ptest-pkgs"

while just a bit further down in section 5.15.1:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-the-root-filesystem

one reads:

     IMAGE_FEATURES = "read-only-rootfs"

or

     EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "read-only-rootfs"

  i think readers might get confused as to when to use one or the
other variable, and whether to use "=" or "+=".
