Quite the opposite, I would say.

The BSDs show that you can maintain a highly integrated small core OS
with a tiny team. Android has shown it can be done on top of the Linux
kernel. The traditional Linux distros are comparatively flailing at it
-- throwing a ton more resources at it, badly coordinated.

If Fedora moves to a tightly integrated core, and does it in a way
that other distros follow, Linux could grow a small core that moves in
sync with the kernel and outpaces the competition. systemd is the
example here.

Couple of months ago I have written about this topic here
https://plus.google.com/u/0/104365545644317805353/posts/MgAeGR6Pb8p --
the way I read Matthew's proposal is that it follows the "fast moving
core" goals...

cheers,
