That's fair. From a resource and quality perspective though, I'd
rather not burden rel-eng and QA with having to maintain, create, and
test spins.
The 'burden' they create on QA is precisely zero, as we explicitly do
not block releases on spins other than desktop and KDE. I don't believe
releng considers the spins much of a burden, either - it's more just
that they don't like building and pushing out stuff that no-one's even
done a sanity check on. However, we have several high quality spins that
people *do* care about and *do* test: at least the desktop spins, but I
know for e.g. finalzone puts a lot of work into the design spin.
I think it's fairly presumptuous to suggest chucking all that stuff in
favour of something that doesn't even *exist* yet.
F20 improved spins overall, but that was because of a concerted
effort
with our existing resources. If Fedora.next is going to succeed,
those resources are already going to be overwhelmed with the 3
products.
Again, there is no 'burden' on QA due to spins.
