Fedora Plasma Product, feedback please

[Christian Schaller]

I have seen the discussion, but to continue making spins available and giving them equal billing to the products are two very different things.
I don't mind or care if there is for example a spins.fdo.org page listing a ton of spins, coprs, remixes and other variations that people have put together.
But that is not what the main fedora website should be built around and focus on offering.
