I don't think it qualifies as a remix. It consists of ISOs of official
spins everyone can download from fp.o. It just ships them on one media,
it doesn't modify their user experience in any way.
We've marketed it as different flavours of Fedora.

I agree we might need to reconsider it when introducing products.
It will need to be thought-through, also from the cost point of view.
Unit price changes with quantity rapidly. Ordering 3 different DVDs 2000
pieces each would be twice more expensive than ordering 6000 DVDs of the
same kind.
