I want to point out that it was the overarching Spins SIG that was
dysfunctional. Some of the SIGs that support a spin seemed to be doing OK.
Others not so much. What was missing, was the various SIGs collaborating
together to help improve the foundation for live spins and the quality
of the spins promoted by Fedora.
