Okay, maybe that is too "corporate speak" :)

Up until now the rationale I've seen has mostly been "we should do this 
because Fedora should do all of its own stuff" or "if we had a separate 
instance everything would be better".  So far I haven't found any of 
these arguments to be compelling enough in the face of the disruption it 
would cause to Fedora and Red Hat.

Would we be creating more new problems than we are solving?

Reading the rest of what you posted (which is one of the best 
explanations I've seen on this topic so far) it sounds like we disagree 
on the impact of changing.
