To be clear, I *also* don't think it's realistic. (That context got
lost in the quoting.)

I'm definitely in favor; also, I'm thinking it might be an area where
the Fedora Program Manager could provide some administrative
assistance, so tracking this "metawork" doesn't become an _extra_

program management folk to try and get support for expanding into
areas like this.
