Well, that seems poorly crafted to me. The user base is whoever it is, a lot of different people with a lot of different reasons to use Fedora. The target audience, despite what making it sound like they are the same, is a different collection of users as described further when you drill down. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_base The special class of users that is apparently no longer called the "target audience" but is none-the-less the people we are trying to reach seems to fit User #1 to me.
