Configuration and management tools mostly.

That you have a coherent set of configuration and management tools
that are server oriented. It's not like we need to diverge on the
packages, but it would be a side effect of every one going their
road.
All Linux distribution ship the same packages, but most
incompatibilities come from naming and versions, I do not see as a
good thing to have internal divergence in Fedora. It would be
especially taxing for those packages that need to go in multiple
products if they had to be rebuilt in all of them because
underlying packages slightly differ.
If there are packages that belong in multiple products, I'd recommend
that those be in the core/FOS definition. I think we can probably talk
about allowing individual products to elect to leave things OUT (such
as Fedora Cloud not carrying all the drivers), but if multiple
products all need e.g. openssh, I think we should assert that they
should not fork unless it's thoroughly unavoidable. In other words, if
more than one product needs to rely on something, in my opinion that
belongs in the Base WG definition.
