But you cannot overlap products as in you cannot have a "Gnome
workstation and "KDE workstation" etc you cannot have an "Server"
product outside what is already defined in the ServerWG nor a
"Cloud" product outside what is already defined there.
I think it's okay for there to be some overlap. The real world doesn't
always chop up into neat boxes. If there's a *lot* of overlap between two
nominally-different products, then that is less useful and it's probably
better for them to either work together or else find a stronger
differentiation.
But that's talking about products. As long as someone is interested in doing
them, spins can overlap like crazy.
