Might happen on individual project needs and contributions. If its a 
commercial product it can be based on revenue and customer demands. It 
can also be done by establishing new markets through research and so on.

I requested a facilitation since you cite this so often. Would you do that?

We are already started to work with the people who did the respins. So 
if you have anything specific to add on that, mail me off list.

Anybody could do that. The project would do whatever it can to enable 
this to happen.

Live CD effort is in progress

VMware will not be supported or used in Fedora.

Effort in progress again.

We need specific responses to the development list instead of random
