I won't speak for all of FESCo, but I'm leaning towards: "Spins can
continue just as they are, while being aware that they continue to be
secondary to our primary deliverables". (Yes, I'm aware of the
KDE-as-release-blocker rule and we'll address that individually).

So new spins and existing Spins are fine (in my opinion) as long as
someone is caring for and feeding them.
