Comment (by jreznik):

 Btw. "flavour" could be pretty hard to translate to other languages than
 English and it should be considered when we come with another term.
 Product is pretty much international term now with pretty clear meaning.
 Variant maybe but there could be clash with RH product marketing again.

 > Work with FESCo and Fedora Program Manager to develop process whereby
 flavor-specific Changes are handled primarily at the WG level.

 The Changes process was designed from the beginning to be more SIG centric
 (before we had WGs) but in the end, implementation was more FESCo based.
 It shouldn't be that hard to extend it to WGs/flavours (and I already
 added a few fields to cover that). Ultimate plan is to create Changes web
 app that could make it even easier (a few folks volunteered but in the end
 it's not that easy app as it sounds, also infra guys were interested...
 not F22 thing but could be done within F22/F23 releases).

 For spins vs products/flavours, we had an interesting debate a few days
 ago with websites. One idea was to have "Fedora Lab" for spins. But in
 that case, we would need clear path to propagate spins into real products
 as it would be strange to have "forever lab" projects and with current
 strict rules set by former Board... I think Fedora should be inclusive
 meritocratic project, if you invest your energy, you should have the same
 handling as others even it would lead to less targeted/aimed deliverables.
