If I understand what you're asking, serving these "products" doesn't detract from a Fedora message any more than marketing RHEL prevents the company from having an overall Red Hat message. But I'll just add some notes: - I'm still concerned about the Red Hat point of view on using the word "products" for Fedora things. - We are already understaffed, so to speak, as a marketing team. We may be able to sort-of serve three things, but if we're going to be adding anything that someone "can pull off," we just won't be equally serving everyone. If I had to vote, I'd thus be inclined to lead towards the high bar option.
