Yes, we're probably not going to be offering a direct embedded product
right from the get-go. However, the Fedora ARM project will definitely
have a place in the Server and Cloud variants, as several hardware
manufacturers have been announcing ARM-based servers.


We certainly don't want to suggest that ARM-based hobby projects like
Pidora will be going away. ARM folks are encouraged to work on the
Base Design functionality so we can meet their needs in the core OS
and then we'll be providing tools similar to the current Spins to
allow them to continue building their own installable images.

The main change being made here is with how we are presenting *The
Fedora Project* to the world. In the past, we've tried to be all
things to all people, but going forward we want to pick a few specific
areas that we will focus on (and market) particularly. The wide world
of Fedora software and packages will always be there.
