technical spec for the workstation up for review

A few comments. ;) 

* The spec says dnf will be the default software updater. I thought dnf
  folks didn't want to be default until f22 or so. Have you checked
  with them if this is ok?

* It would be good to decide on wayland vs X before any alpha. Or
  wayland as preview, etc. 

* Which theme would be selected? adwaita ? (which doesn't yet have a qt
  part that I know of). 

* I share nottings concern with the package list being in there.
  Perhaps it would be better to provide a description, ie, all the
  packages that depend on those that you require. (then you could
  reduce things, etc based on needs). Also, might be worth someone
  creating a live media with this set and diffing it against the f20
  one... it might well show things that were missed, but are important. 

* What deliverable(s) would there be? a live image? a live and a DVD? a
  netinstall? Any size or other constraints? 

* Will there be a default method of setting up the install image? Ie,
  there was talk about putting more resources into liveusb-creator a
  while back, is that still on the table? or just leave things as 'any
  way you can copy to a usb' ?

* Given that the install will "limit the pre-installation user
  interaction to the minimum." Will there be a default filesystem type
  selected? Any other parts of the installer that should be preselcted
  for the workstation case? 

Looks like a great start! Thanks for writing this up!
