Except that you still need an OS to actually *run* these things.  So -
are you proposing Fedora continue the OS?  Or do we just make
apps/infrastucture, and tell people you need to install Windows or OS
X?

If we're continuing the OS, then what's stopping anyone from starting
work on the next Skywriter, whether hosted at fedorahosted, github, or
mozilla?  Do you think applying the Fedora brand is going to jumpstart
things?  Or having Red Hat's brand sort-of behind it?

Here's the problem - Fedora as currently run has a benefit to Red Hat,
because we (and here I'm speaking as a RH employee) ship an enterprise
general purpose OS, and that's why the money is applied.  If we're
talking about something totally different, how does RH benefit?
