I don't know that this is necessary. I think in the last two release cycles (8 & 9) we made significant progress in tackling this, and looking around comments etc from the time, people were starting to recognise that Fedora was *the* distribution* for innovation. We just need to be more proactive in our shouting about features, much earlier in the release cycle (e.g. as soon as features start getting approved by FESCo, become vaguely testable). Saying that, I don't think it would hurt to release at a seperate time to Ubuntu, as we're never going to compete with an end-user orientated distribution in various media outlets (even more technical ones give far less precedence to development than they do businesss deployments).
