While "regular users" are not Fedora's main target, our target user base
assumes a "general productivity user", including these characteristics:

  We expect the majority of users to be interested in a set of general
  productivity tasks. These tasks are usually non-technical in nature. They
  involve communication and the creation, storage, location, and viewing of
  content. They are common to both novice and experts alike, and we should
  deliver a platform that allows users to engage in these tasks without
  interruption or disruption.

Which I think supports your position. (Leading edge, not bleeding edge.)
