Perhaps I'm missing something then. Is there something specific to Fedora
that you're concerned about that somehow we can ignore with CentOS and
RHEL Atomic Host? I would think we'd need to align as best as we can
with all of our communities.
The messaging seems pretty simple to me and properly aligned with the
communities.
Fedora = Newest
CentOS = Stable
RHEL = Supported
I get that there are several offerings that Fedora has, I don't feel
compelled to list them all on projectatomic.io to people who likely won't
have the information to make an informed decision anyway. We pick one
for them, give a few word description on what it is, and set them loose.
