Developer focus for Fedora workstation

[Christian Schaller]

I support continuing with a strong developer focus for the first few
releases of the Workstation. Many of Langdons ideas are already in the pipeline and others
can be added once we flesh them out, and some I think isn't as workable as his idea of staying 
on a given GNOME release for a few releases, but I agree with the underlaying notion that ABI stability 
for the desktop is something we need to focus on and work with upstream to focus on.
