Let me rephrase that question. Is having Fedora featured in LPM
considered advertising in their business model? If it is then I think
the folks who are privy to that information are the only ones in a
position to make an intelligent judgment about whether this is worth
doing. As an ambassador I can say (a) it sounds like a cool thing, (b)
we could manage for a release cycle with fewer media options than we
have now, and (c) I trust those who know the details of the
arrangement to make a wise choice for the project.
