The point is that your document is capable of being read drive-by,
thanks to the nature of the internet (and e.g. Google). The people who

bullet points. Those being negative really hurts. Let's focus on the
positive. Perhaps something like:
* <b>Q: Is Fedora Core unstable and unreliable?</b>
* <b>A: No. In fact, many businesses rely on Fedora Core for day-to-day
operation and, in some cases, critical infrastructure.</b> The
misconception that Fedora is unstable is driven by two things:
Basically, give the reader the bottom line information up front, and
then if they want to read the full response, they can. This helps
