I make a decision which I believe is formed in large part by my values without thinking about them. > If the assumption is that we all share these values, what are they? The > four F's?

Enumerating the values with surgical precision is meaningless too if you want it to lead to an idea of what the Fedora distribution will look like in 5 years. It just doesn't work that way.
