Is it wise to put 90% of use cases in "other users" section? Maybe I
don't understand intention of this document but judging based on it's
content Workstation product only (mostly) embraces software development.

I'm aware that this Fedora devel process revolution shouldn't result in
mass package removal but I'm really worried that goals are set so
narrowly and this might result in functionality degradation. Now we have
all packages for different use cases but no progress is stagnation and
finally death.
