I think you missed my point that we really don't have "choose your own
adventure".

Most of our installed base is already GNOME.

I also made the point earlier that I feel like all this Fedora.next
stuff is going to do is take Fedora and GNOME and simply put a label
of "workstation" on it.

Can you quite honestly tell me how you think things will be different
in Fedora.next?

Can you give me some concrete bullet points on how you think
Fedora.next will be any more attractive to third parties?

Once again, I can't stress enough and say that I seriously am not
seeing any difference between Fedora.now and Fedora.next.

Besides taking what we currently have and saying "There, now we have
Fedora.next". What do you really think the rest of the world will
think? I'll tell you what they will think. They'll say things like:

"OK, so what?"

"Something something lipstick on a pig"

"The more things change.."

"That's nice Fedora, so what's new?"

Sorry. I'm just not buying it.
