Without putting *any* blame on infra, I think that explains why no startup
is using Fedora (which is the reason advanced to justify this proposal). A
startup needs to build its own infra from scratch as fast as possible.

If building this infra must be done outside of Fedora, what are the
incentives exactly to put fedora on desktops afterwards?

If the Fedora project intends to promote instead a Fedora+something_else
mix, where is this mix documented (for startup creators to find) and what
exactly is the Fedora project doing to ensure this mix works well?

If the something_else is composed of third-party services that primarily
target other desktops, who is going to believe replacing them with Fedora
is a good idea?
