We're developing a distribution - Fedora. Fedora is our product, like X
is the X developers' product. Fedora is "our little world of influence
and our package set". Yes, that's a big task, but it's what we're here
for. :)

I'm getting the sense a lot of people are thinking in terms of "well, I
just work on this little piece, so I want to work on this little piece
and not be bothered when some other piece breaks". But we're really all
working on one *big* piece, here.
