To me the most obvious factor here is: what do you see when you go to download Fedora? What you see is this: https://getfedora.org/ which is very clear that the Editions - the primary Fedora Things - are Workstation, Server and IoT. CoreOS and Silverblue are clearly labeled "Emerging Fedora Editions", which clearly communicates to people "these are things we consider important but aren't ready to make the Main Things" yet - they are, as the subhead says, "the future of Fedora". This is admirably clear messaging, I think, and it means that people will give us a pass on all the sorts of awkward questions I asked in my other mail. If CoreOS moves up a few hundred pixels, we will *not* get a pass on those questions. If we release a bad CoreOS, it will reflect badly on Fedora. If we do a "Fedora release" and just basically forget to include CoreOS in the messaging for that release at all, that will look bad. Note that if you go to getfedora.org and click on CoreOS *right now*, it offers you a Fedora 32-based CoreOS. This is the kind of thing that is kinda fine so long as it's an Emerging Edition. It would *not*, IMHO, be fine for an Edition. If we accept CoreOS as an edition and two months after Fedora 34 is "released", our "stable" CoreOS is still Fedora 33-based, that seems like the sort of thing that would look bad. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
