This will hardly make a dent in the results, becase there 6000 items
in the list and emacs with -Q returns only 110 features for me.


It still leaves things like:

(x . 268)
(x-dnd . 267)
(x-win . 267)
(x-toolkit . 264)
(newcomment . 264)
(ring . 259)
(advice . 257)
(font-render-setting . 253)
(macroexp . 252)
(dbusbind . 249)
(cl . 246)
(comint . 243)
(tabulated-list . 241)
(easy-mmode . 239)
(kmacro . 236)
(edmacro . 232)
(gtk . 231)
(byte-compile . 230)
(bytecomp . 229)
(byte-opt . 229)
...

These seem fairly basic stuff.

I should mention that I use 24.1.1. Is it possible that the current
emacs has a much longer features list with -Q? Could someone using
the latest emacs check it?

Good idea, but first we should trim down the list somehow.
