The feature is public profiles, and I for one think it’s a neat idea to make a better alternative to LinkedIn for developers. This whole mess was not about the feature, but the way it was going to be rolled out at short notice to everybody who hadn’t explicitly turned it off, which is very different. I think Ammon himself put it best:
