I don't know how that would possibly pull in the GNOME Spin's firewall config, if you select a different set entirely, unless they're doing some odd package mangling that I'm not aware of. I'm not talking about users that do the default install, and then switch to a TTY, because that's going to be a very small number of the userbase of the Workstation product. > It's not "GNOME's firewall zone".

It is specific to the GNOME Spin. I don't imagine /etc/os-release would be set to that when another package set is selected, if that's even possible with the GNOME Spin's installer. Simply using the install media is not enough to put the fedora-release-workstation package into other options' package sets. > The main point is that it's not GNOME-specific at all, but it is > Workstation Edition-specific. That's what I'm referring to as the GNOME Spin, because it's not fair to call it anything else, unless you're talking about how it's able to do all kinds of nonsense, like this, that Spins can't get away with. Calling it "Workstation", when speaking of anything other than the name it's adopted and been approved with, is dishonest at best, as it's certainly not the only workstation option in Fedora, nor is it the best, which is subjective. This is an important distinction, which needs to be made at some point. -- John M.
