I really can't agree with only three products doctrine forever. That's why I personally call it multiple products initiative :). On the other hand I completely agree with high bar pushed on products. So I don't expect we would ever end with more than a few products - it's still manageable and it's the message to the community - hey, we are still pretty much inclusive distro, come and convince us, you can make it. We're Fedora, not Ubuntu - ask Kubuntu guys for opinion :). Also this high bar leads to another question - exactly opposite to the escalation of spin to product. What if one of multiple products stops to fulfil these high bar standards? I know, it does not make sense to have policy for it now but it's just one piece of puzzle... And believe me - during the release I wish we have only one product with one package and one use case and one test. Life of many folks involved in release would be much more happier :).
