</div>I agree with this paragraph.<br>
<br>
A product should really have a distinct use case (or cases) that it is<br>
trying to address. Something like 'Fedora media center' or 'Fedora<br>
kiosk' would be an excellent addition to the product lineup. If we take<br>
the workstation specs and just s/G/K/ or s/G/X/, we end up back in the<br>
place we were with spins - too much choice, and too little<br>
differentiation.<br>
