I'm afraid I can't agree. I like the simplicity of the model you're
proposing, but from a practical point of view, there is still a commonly
held perception that there is a 'product' called Fedora which is
basically composed of what you get if you go to get.fedoraproject.org,
download one of the things we push at you there, and install it.
Practically speaking, I believe we have to QA that 'thing called Fedora'
as a whole. I don't think your model quite matches what people perceive
Fedora to be.
