Workstation FESCo summary - draft

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

"Pushing new Wayland technology, now used in the login screen, and
also quite usable in user sessions as an option"

Wayland doesn't work on one of my machines
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200581) and I can't find
documentation on how to set display size on the other. "Quite usable"
is a bit optimistinc

"To fully succeed, we must also increase the diversity of Fedora
release bits, which is not just a Workstation effort. "

I'm not sure what you mean by "diversity" here. But if it implies a
lack of focus on shipping stuff that works for a large class of users
I'm against it. ;-)

I think there are too many spins, for example. Why not just
Workstation i686/x86_64, *one* Server DVD x86_64, *one* Cloud x86_64
host product and a better-documented netinstall for everyone else.
Reduce the cognitive load on users - don't try to be everything for
everyone.
