My statements was directly targeted at the often repeated attitude on
this list which
seems to be that Red Hat should shut up and pay for whatever the given poster think
should be payed
for without having any expectations or requirements of the Fedora community in return.
The relationship between Red Hat and Fedora is very different from that of for instance
Debian and Ubuntu,
with Red Hat being a lot more directly involved in both contributing to Fedora and paying
for the
general upkeep of Fedora. Personally I always felt that this symbiotic relationship was a
big part of
what made Fedora interesting.
So in regards to the spins, which my original response didn't really try to address,
I think they should all become remixes
and I think we should try to build an infrastructure where doing a remix is as easy as
possible.
For example, in theory I think the Fedora project could provide some kind of web hosting
space for the remixes, to reduce the burden/threshold
for remix maintainers, but I do also see that there are legal and administrative reasons
for why that could be a bad idea, but I am sure that with
some discussion and investigation there are solutions that can be found to these
practical challenges.

I think dumping the spins is a very bad and dangerous idea for the whole
Fedora/RHEL ecosystem. This will only drive the contributors away, and
speaking of the KDE spin here, also a substantial user base.
