I believe that they should, because we should never break the ability for
people use Fedora as a base for something awesome. Projects that are Fedora
Remixes that want to use their own branding should be able to take it as a
functional base and layer their own branding (or NOT!) on top and have a
working release.

Personally, I think with the productized Fedora release system now, we need
to fix up all the generic-* packages so that they have everything to
function properly. We don't have a generic-productimg package for Anaconda,
for example, which can create other issues. Heck, we don't even have a
fedora-remix-productimg!

I'm also uncertain of whether generic-logos is up to date enough to
function on modern Fedora releases, given that it's stuck back at Fedora 17.
