Platform. Singular. We are providing a Platform, not a variety of them.
That is part of the mission's focus. We need to provide a common platform across a variety of target environments so that end developers and users have something to consistently rely on to develop or tailor. If we provide multiple platforms it gives us no value, causes resource issues and confusion, and doesn't help us with marketing at all.
I'm not meaning to pick on you, and maybe you didn't even think about that aspect. I'm simply using this as an opportunity to highlight what we feel is a very key tenant of the new mission.
I understand, but I don't see it in how we have done things. Mainly this is because we aren't clear on the definition of platform. To me a platform is what you use to stick things together.. so ostree, old releases are 2 different platforms. containers and flatpack are different platforms, aarch64, arm, s390, ppc, i386 and x86_64 are all different platforms. workstation, server, and whatever 3rd wheel we are trying for this release are different platforms.
So I can see where you are coming from.. but you need to define that somewhere to be clear so I can switch my definition of the last 20 years to this one :).
