There is also a proposal for a "Fedora Plasma" product based around KDE.
I'm
personally a little skeptical but listening -- I think want a technology
showcase masquerading as a product would miss the point, and I'd like to be
convinced that this is more than that.
We have an open question in FESCo over whether KDE should be release
blocking (there's a ticket for today's meeting), and there's some debate
over whether it's necessary for a desktop to be represented at the product
level in order to be considered blocking. (And I think that this issue is
driving the product push to some degree.)
My take on this is:
KDE should not be a top level Product. In my opinion, Fedora should only
produce the currently listed 3 Products and not more. Otherwise we get
back at square 1 where we have too many offerings and nobody knows what
makes a supported Fedora.
Kubuntu is to Ubuntu now.
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 :).

I agree with Jaroslav. I was looking forward to have a fourth product to
those three. KDE can help define what is needed for new product, what
must be done by all teams, how much work it will be ... I guess we
should speak more about addition of new product and don't kill the idea
at the start.
