Nope, not at all. I work on it because it interests me and I do have
hopes that others will enjoy the results just as those who put in the
effort to make it happen, but I don't have the unrealistic expectation
for the Spin(s) that I work on to take over the market share of the
prom queen. This is honestly part of why I asked the question you
quoted because if the end goal is to stop the Spins in their tracks
then I will simply move from "Spin" to "Remix" with a different logo
set as to not walk on the lines of TM issues. It makes no difference
to me, I think it would be a bit of a slap in the face to some but it
bothers me absolutely zero. I get to do what I want, contribute to
Fedora and my over all desktop experience doesn't change (I would just
miss the pretty Fedora logo).
