So, for Fedora, is there a meaningful way in which this differs from the
NIST definition, or is it basically a different way of saying the same
thing?
  
Specifically, does this definition include anything the NIST definition
would exclude? Does it exclude anything NIST would include? (I'm not worried
about finding obscure corner cases; just in general as a working definition
for Fedora.)
