Monolithic Artifact Proposal

• Current
• Selectivity, i.e. Features, assumes that a unique
  content unit(s) contains the support for each
  selection.
• Issue
• Some existing artifacts are monolithic.
• Selectivity needs to be declared
• Selectivity defines switches for deploying the
  monolithic artifact
• Proposal
• Provide the ability for the selection of a
  Feature to define, and set the value of, a
  variable, i.e. the selection of a feature sets a
  variable.
• This variable can be used by the content unit
  that contains the monolithic artifact.
