<td class="title">Removed support for unnecessary attributes in Features and Products</td>
<td class="content">
The <code>Feature</code> editor has its support for the following attributes of <code>plugin</code> elements removed:
<ul>
<li><code>download-size</code></li>
<li><code>install-size</code></li>
<li><code>unpack</code></li>
<li><code>fragment</code></li>
</ul>
These attributes are unused and without effect for a long time and unnecessarily increase the complexity of the editor and the size of a <code>feature.xml</code> file.
They are ignored when present in an existing Feature and removed by the editor upon the next modification through the editor.
<p>
The <code>Product Configuration</code> editor has its support for the following attribute of <code>plugin</code> elements removed:
<ul>
<li><code>fragment</code></li>
</ul>
This attribute is unused and without effect for a long time and unnecessarily increase the size of a <code>.product</code> file.
They are ignored when present in an existing Product and removed by the editor upon the next modification through the editor.
