I don't doubt this.  However implicit in this is some idea of what the
target Fedora Core user looks like -- some kind of user profile.  I
think the goal of this thread is to make this idea explicit.

Are we targeting developers?  Corporate desktop users?  People who
travel a lot?  People setting up LAMP servers?  Some combination?
