Well, with respect to gnome-software, yes, that is much improved. Let me
try to rephrase my point.

F21 has mostly the same applications as F20 did. We're not "picking the
best components out there" any more than we were before, and we're not
"doing a lot of work to integrate and polish them" any more than we were
before. It is not a "much more polished and targeted product than what
you seen before from the Fedora community." Fedora already had a good
set of default applications, the new set is pretty much the same as it
used to be (exception: devassistant), and improvements in applications
since F20 are all upstream improvements, not Fedora-specific integration
(exception: the PackageKit backend).

Fedora Workstation is pretty much the same as Fedora Desktop was. It's
not some dramatic new product. Christian's intro sounds like a good
marketing pitch, so maybe we want to use it anyway, but it's not very
realistic. It reminds me of the Dominos commercials that made fun of how
much bad their old pizza recipe was to sell their new pizza, but their
new pizza really was different from their old pizza. Our pizza is surely
a bit nicer than it was before, but it's the same incremental
improvement you would expect after one year, not anything radically new.
