If I understand correctly, the current practise is not to allow out of 
sync spin releases. I don't see a way to do a new Fedora 10 spin now and 
have to wait for Fedora 11.

Other than that,for this to really work, the advantage of getting a work 
as Fedora branded has to overweigh the overhead introduced by the 
process and new uncertainties everytime.

About a dozen localized spins were approved by both Fedora Board and 
rel-eng and the process was followed as it existed then during Fedora 8 
development. Only one spin got hosted. Instead, if I adopt the secondary 
brand, I have a bit more control and assurance that the work I put in, 
doesn't get wasted.
