I agree to an extent. My major concern is that we have... uncontrolled

being attached to it, and we have no differentiation between something
the Fedora team has put out as a release through QA/Releng/Fedora
community testing/etc... and something somebody cooked up in the
backroom and threw over the wall. I would want it to be clear that
somebody is consuming a "contrib" creation rather than a blessed spin.
And no, I don't really have any good ideas on how to make that
distinction outside of a second mark.
Sigh.
Haven't we been through this before?
My understanding was that no distro, derived from All Fedora Bits (tm) or
not, could not bear the Official Fedora Name unless it was blessed by the
board. Which probably implies blessed by QA and releng. Did I
misunderstand the policy? Has policy changed, and I'm unaware of it?
But really, this is also about the Brand (tm). And I'm still not clear
that we have a handle on what the Brand (tm) entails.
So perhaps we should have a restatement from The Board about policies
regarding The Brand.
