Understood, but OTOH it makes me wonder if Fedora.next is a step to
big and needs to be split or something.

+1 you found really good words for what's a big part of the problem I

Yeah, we'll see :D

Your words otoh scratched another thought in my head: The PRD
documents (and some of the other docs around Fedora.next) in great
length talk a lot about "how" they want to do something. That up to a
point is needed obviously. But sometimes I miss a few introductions
words on the "why" we want all of that and how it's supposed to make
Fedora better. But that's obviously meta/abstract again, which I
myself criticized earlier. So maybe it's simply this ted talk that
stuck in my head too much:
