So... I guess my objections are all based on the proposal as written,
which doesn't sound to me like what you are describing. What the
proposal says is all about rebuilding Fedora with the rejected baseline
change, and showing that it is better to get the community to accept the
original change. It also uses the term "older machines" (which is still
misleading).
I have adjusted the description of the change in a way that I think
clarifies this part. Please check if it is better now.
Also I've posted some context in a separate thread [1].
I think the current change is important to Fedora also as a showcase
that we, as a project, care not only about the internal distribution
matters but in some large developments in the "outside world".
That we can also provide a venue for, for example, hardware vendors to
show their newest work.
The rejection is a valuable feedback here, it highlights that it is
not enough to just push a new hardware spec to the market to get it
adopted. But we can also try to find a way how actually it _can_ be
done better.
