I'd like to just ditch the whole section and replace it with something
vaguer. Maybe realistic minimums for the default desktop, and a note
that the requirements will vary widely depending on what you're doing
with the system. (My mailserver is currently using a princely 119MB of
RAM, and that's a perfectly valid use case for Fedora. Well, that
actually runs Mandriva, but I expect it'd be much the same on Fedora.)

This should be filed as a request for the docs team, as they own the
relevant document.
