Scratch "new" then. Adapters will provide additional functionality.

Jim does what he likes, obviously, but I think that the rename of features
to adapters are adding to the confusion in the naming. Adapters is something
you plug in between two things that does not otherwise fit, like a 110 to
220 v adapter. After the rename, we now call the electrical outlet
"service", we call the radio "adapter" and we call the adapter "utility".
