Sometimes there are Amabassadors whom love Fedora but get wrapped up
in the dealings of daily life that they don't have time or gumption to
keep track of their Ambassador status. However, that doesn't mean
they wont ever return, and we shouldn't just get rid of their wiki,
account, and other materials because they have gone inactive.
I am in the same boat, almost. I love being an Ambassador and when I
signed up, I had free time and could devote alot to Fedora. Since
then, I have decided to go back to college to earn my MBA (tough to do
when you got your undergrad 8-10 years ago) and still work a full time
career. This leaves me with very little time to travel and devote to
Fedora. However, once I graduate I plan on becoming more active in
Fedora again, and if my account had been deleted in my absence, I
would be less motivated to sign back up.
FAS accounts are never deleted. They have two states: Active or Inactive.
Forcing people to change passwords can also be tricky, even though that
would be very good practice!
Until of course, people use the same password everywhere again, because
they cannot recall the new passwords.

Tristan
