I would really appreciate it, if people would learn to distinguish their
different roles in Fedora, in particular to keep technical issues
separate from political and marketing affairs.

FESCo is a political organ, not a technical one, nor are FESCO members
necessarily active packagers nor specially technically qualified people.

So, though it might be true that current FESCO members for some reasons
are sponsors, this relation IMO should be consider "random coincidence".

The same applies to other Fedora organs, such as ambassadors or FPB's.
