When Red Hat decided to create the Red Hat Linux Project which later got
renamed in Fedora Project, Red Hat published this particular answer as a
result of it's experience (and dealing with loses in a retail product)
while creating Red Hat Linux releases roughly twice a year and I copied
it over from http://fedora.redhat.com pages when I created the FAQs
since I knew that site was going away soon at that time.
A lot of details have changed and Fedora Project of today is a different
beast (or angel if you will). We could certainly reevaluate our
considerations and IMO we should.
It is worth pointing out that you did not have experience from inside of
a rapidly moving distribution trying also to be a retail boxed product,
right? There were very good reasons that model was a PITA and it was
dropped, reasons that haven't changed since then.
Depends on the reasons. Some of them like the pain of commercially
supporting a retailed box product that gets released frequently does not
apply to Fedora. If you have a Fedora store, selling a box as one of
several items available seems very logical and what users would expect.
