Well, in that case I think then we should rename fab to
"fedora-project-list" to make it really obvious "this is the list where
the project in general and its goals are being discussed".

Alternative would be to create the fedora-project-list and discuss 90%
of the things we discussed here until now on that list in the future.
Then we could still use FAB for what it was planed for when it got
created: discussions between the Fedora Project Boards and the leaders
or important contributors from Extras, Ambassadors, Infrastructure...
The question is: do we really need such a list?

Happy new year everyone.
