I don't think so. Whatever we distribute needs to be an official "Fedora
product", and this decision needs to be mutually by all involved
parties: The Spins SIG, Rel-eng and the board (hope I didn't forget
somebody).
While I think it would be better if it were an official Fedora
product, and I think it is a great idea, I don't think ambassadors
need to get approval to do something reasonable. We have distributed
re-spins in the past and I don't think anyone has viewed that as a
problem as long as it is clear to recipients what they are getting.

+1. Once the media is ratified by all other groups, we should seriously
consider to ship it. I really like the idea but we cannot decide this on
our own.
I am having a difficult time seeing this happen though. Let's see what
they say but rather than going into it looking to get permission let's
go into it looking for guidance in making our decision.
