<pre wrap="">One thing I noticed in this announcement as well as something similar
in a fairly recent Red Hat blog post is some emphasis on Fedora's role
as a place where new technology is developed and tested for possible
inclusion in Red Hat's commercial products. While that is true and it
is a motivation for many Fedora contributors it isn't the universal
view of Fedora even within Fedora. Fedora is different things to
different people and unfortunately one of the persistent, although
perhaps waning, issues we deal with promoting Fedora is people put off
by the impression that is really all Fedora is.</pre>

Yes exactly I for one am one of those that have been trying to shave
of that "development version of RHEL or development desktop version
for Red Hat" through out the years because I know first hand that
users have chosen to stay away from using Fedora because of the
"development label" including upstream that have chosen to ship
their own packages in their own internal repo simply because they
thought nobody would be using their application. ( which in this
particular case is server related ) which is why my project vision
is that we eventually evolve into releasing and maintaining one LTS
release and one rolling release which users that want bleeding edge
would upgrade every 6 or 8 months or so ( which kinda is not
implementable until we have something like btrfs ). <br>

<pre wrap=""> So I'd like to see
some care around dealing with this. I don't want to discourage Red Hat
from saying <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>this<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> is why Fedora is important to us entirely. I think
that message is important too. But maybe we can boilerplate something
that also emphasizes other reasons people love and contribute to
Fedora so it is <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>one of many<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> reasons Fedora is important.</pre>

Yes you nailed it <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>one
of many<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> which is why we cant
have a single label that applies to the distribution in whole or
single de to push on the front, or a single server solution etc. <br>
