I hope you can trust that we have the right people on board to find a solution if a solution is possible.

I am sorry but  "Trust us" is not enough.   I am sure you have the right people on board with the idea and there is no doubt those skilled people could do a reasonable job here but the details matter.  For instance, if the idea is that we are no longer to rebase to latest upstream kernels because doing so, might break proprietary drivers, that affects all users regardless of whether they are using the driver or not and there are Fedora users who are specifically using the distribution because of the kernel update policy.   How is QA on those non-free software going to work out?  Not everything needs to be fleshed out but it is important to share as much as you can and be transparent about the current thinking on these issues.
