Project content types: why no 'features' type?

[nated]

Just wondering if there is any reason why there does not exist a 'feature' project type.

Realizing they are practically the same as modules, it still seems good to have this logical separation. Thoughts?

AFAIK tools like Drush take into account the project type to know where to put downloaded projects in the Drupal directory structure (either under sites/all/themes/, sites/all/modules/, installation profiles under profiles/, etc.). I guess Drush does not know how to handle any additional categories, although I did not try it myself.
