Putting one of those at a higher level by default, by recommendation

that is how I see it.
Some projects are objectively better than other projects. Some projects
may not be objectively better but are more closely aligned with our
release schedule and support cycles. Some projects are actively
developed in Fedora and as such can be more cleanly integrated into the
distribution.
As soon as we slip that argument no longer stands and we always slip...
Making it easier for users to obtain those projects is doing our users a
service. It is not our responsibility to encourage growth and
development of other projects that don't make things better for our
users, and so it's inappropriate to provide equivalent promotion.
You do realize that each sub community is trying to reach out to their
own target users, even an single application might be reaching to a
specific target audience so in that perspective there is no such thing
as "our users".
So in other words what to take from your response is that you are saying
that you do not want increased participation in the project as whole and
or only for specific areas of the project?
