If you don't serve that audience or offer a forward path beyond entry 
level, who do you serve and who is going to promote it?

Yes, it was at least a two-part question.  One is whether you have more 
than one box - with the implication that in the likely scenario that you 
do, you'll want to split services among them in various ways and access 
each from the others.   The other is whether Fedora is the best, or even 
a possible choice for every function.  My impression is that even though 
individual computers are becoming more powerful, in practice things are 
becoming more distributed and parts are more mobile.  While there is a 
trend toward hiding all of the networking under browser based 
applications, it is still a mistake to throw away the native ability of 
X to run about anything anywhere and handle multiple instances on the 
same box.  If you aren't using Fedora for every function, it should 
still be a good choice for that - and with freenx/NX it is accessible 
from other platforms as well.
