A product should really have a distinct use case (or cases) that it is
trying to address. Something like 'Fedora media center' or 'Fedora
kiosk' would be an excellent addition to the product lineup. If we take
the workstation specs and just s/G/K/ or s/G/X/, we end up back in the
place we were with spins - too much choice, and too little
differentiation.
Could a unified consensus of what is wanted in products please be presented by the Board to potential groups? Round 1 seems to have been "Here use these accepted PRD's and communication as a guideline for what we want." Round 2 seems to be "Don't use these accepted PRD's and communication as a guideline of what we want."
I realize that this new all around and 'We know what we like when we finally see it." but a little help might make this not a daily exercise of frustration.
