Have any of the other spins or remixes made > an argument for inclusion on the front page that marketing agree with? I agree completely with your remarks above concerning marketing. However clearly the spins have nagged, begged, and otherwise requested stronger promotion on the website for many years and I think the record shows that this nagging and unhappiness on the part of some spins at least partly motivated the entire userbase/target audience/default desktop initiative. The decision about website focus was moved from the website and marketing teams to the board. For some context see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-July/msg00088.html Of course the spins did not make an argument that marketing/websites agreed with or we wouldn't still be discussing this all these years later.
