Yeah. Unfortunately, basically spins were a bad idea. But given the present condition I'd prefer that we take the attitude to share between spins as a last resort not as an initial condition. If Fedora must have completely different operating systems under one banner, and doesn't have the resources to maintain each of these separately, and wants to share some components where possible - fine. But for the love of sanity don't expect each of them to agree on anything. They each exist because they have different goals and increasingly divergent user experiences. Sharing code or policy or anything between spins/OSes is a convenience and an optimization and little else. The current policy that we don't do anything unless spins agree with get us nowhere.
