HPC is kind of a special case, where performance trumps all else. It would
be pretty awesome to see a Fedora product based around that. It could have
ATLAS packages that dynamically build from source as designed, for one
thing. As heretical as this sounds, SELinux might be off on the nodes, and
so on.
Still not seeing why that product could not be one of the server
products or strong argument for it being in it's own group.
