Since I brought this up to Kevin Fenzi, let me add a concerns I have here:
Just in case, a rawhide snapshot of a spin is actually considered
pre-approved, What if someone takes Fedora KDE Spin kickstart file, adds
the updates repo or worse the rawhide repo and release it as Fedora KDE
Spin? Rawhide can be quite broken.
I would think that adding the rawhide repo to a trademark-approved
spin would qualify as a major change.
One more related use case:
Does the test day images released by the QA team covered by the current
trademark guidelines.
It doesn't make sense to me to worry about trademark approval for
images that are only going to be in use for a very short time. If
their survivability is a concern, I'll ask for QA to ensure they are
removed regularly after their usefulness has expired.
