Yes, it´s pretty clear... Of course we can do whatever we want.... If I
want to open the "Space Monkeys Fedora" project I could.. But that´s not
the point here.
We are talking about wheter or not the Fedora board is willing to
sponsor this idea.
Since we saw the creation of CentOS, I assume it´s clearly not in the
Fedora objectives such thing, otherwise we would´ve seen something like
"FedoraOS". :)
Anyway, my point is such idea should be at Fedora goals. Everything that
drivers people away from Fedora should be considered, re-thought and,
maybe, re-implemented. Of course I cannot do it alone. I barely know hot
to build rpms and don´t have the infrastructure to do so. But that
doesn´t prevent me from incentivanting such idea and alerting Fedora
heads that maybe some goals do not contribute to the growth of the distro.
If this idea will be embraced or not, that´s another problem...
Unfortunatelly, I see it´s not... (what IMHO is sad). I think it´s
natural from an ambassador the desire to see the distro gain more and
more users... Sorry if I´m a little trenchant. I only do it because I
like the Fedora Project a lot! :)

Well, When managing a project, you have to have a specific goal. If it's
too broad, you'll never manage to attain it as you have limited man power.
I'm sure it can be changed, but how many people are willing to do it ? Why
didn't you join the Fedora Legacy project before it died ? That actually
was the LTS you're expecting.
Now if you want it, just recreate it. No one will ever blame you for doing
it and everyone might encourage you in doing so. But unless you have a lot
of people contributing, you'll never succeed.
And as most of the Fedora contributors are technophiles wanting to have
always bleeding edge technologies improving at a very fast rate (which is
exactly the goal of the Fedora Project), I doubt you'll find a lot of
people wanting to help (but I might be speaking too much for others here
:)
Anyway, good luck in reopening the Fedora Legacy project, that would be a
really good initiative (even if I will personally never use it).
Regards,
