What this does reveal is a bigger problem: that the audiences of at least some of the
spins are not aware of this relationship to the larger Fedora ecosystem. This would
indicate that the "dropping" or de-promoting the spins might lead the users of
them to believe that the functionality they provided was removed from Fedora. While it is
not a correct perception, it is nonetheless one that will occur (to some degree no matter
how we advertise things) if some or all spins go away. It's a point that clearly merits
consideration.
The spins concept splits the community into small fiefdoms and creates
unnecessary divisions.
I've seen mails on this list recently where people proudly stated that
they would continue to advertise one particular spin at conferences etc,
regardless what the official Fedora products are. If that is how we
advertise 'Fedora', it is not really a surprise that our users are
unclear about what it really is...
Fedora isn't a Gnome OS, perhaps that's what they're trying to convey;
making it one will most probably create less confusion but I'm sure it
will also make us less relevant (my personal opinion).
