Thanks :D (For this one, and a zillion others you have helped with as well!)

That's an interesting thought - I don't know that we've consciously done
that before, though perhaps some folks did such rearranging without really
calling that out.

Just to clarify (I didn't really quite get what you meant at first - when
you said "developer tool" i thought you meant whatever section was
dedicated to developer tools, not the actual "Developer's Assistant"
tool/feature): The idea here is that for each section/grouping of new
features/highlights, call out features that are more Fedora specific
*first*, and then highlight features that are not necessarily
Fedora-native/born/specific second. Unless it's popular, in which case...
use your discretion? :)

It would be nice to document this somewhere - it seems like at the minimum
putting it in the template (which doesn't actually exist, but could!) as an
admon note could be useful, or perhaps fleshing out the Alpha announcement
SOP / revisiting the beta/final announcement SOPs (which look fairly dated
right now) to add this might be a good idea.
