I like the basic idea -- and _especially_ like reinforcing that the Fedora
community (and the Fedora Project) are bigger than the Fedora distribution.

And I also share your concern about the perception. Is the Ubuntu model
drawing the line a little too strongly? If we go this route, I want the...
secondary (is there a better word here?) products to still feel (and be!)
supported and included rather than kicked out or downgraded.
