Yeah, but that's something we can look at changing too, especially for the
desktop spins.

I think that could make sense as a product (although given the sad state of
media formats and patents, I'm afraid it will remain hypothetical). The
audience and use case is very different from the server target.

I'm not sure I quite understand the last question, but I think you're asking
if a spin that is derived from a product is different from a spin that is
built from general Fedora bits, and I think the answer _right now_ is "not
by much" but it might be more important in the future.
