  > One peeve: an "undocumented feature" is not a feature that was advertised but doesn't work, it's one that wasn't advertised but does work. "Documented" simply means "has documentation written for it". Being documented or not is independent of whether a feature (1) works or (2) was advertised. Where the author wrote "In some of the talks they admitted that although these features are live right now, they are not yet documented (ie. you can’t use them)", I think he meant that some features were announced, but since they are currently undocumented they cannot be used, simply because you can't figure out how they are used. (And they might or might not work.)
