I’ll note that we’re not the only ones with this problem. openSUSE also identified that they have “too many front doors”. It’s definitely a harder problem than it might seem superficially. I agree that now is as good a time as any to tackle it.
I like having the downloads stay on getfedora with a more “welcome to the project” page on fp.o. But honestly, either option would be a big improvement!
The F35 launch feels impossibly optimistic to me, especially given the amount of research and design that will need to happen before we start implementing it. If we also have pieces that CPE will need to do, getting it into their Q3 plans gives us less than a month to have it well-defined enough to have them start working on it.
F36 Beta (mid-March 2022) feels like a reasonable deadline to aim for. If it’s ready by then we can soft-launch it with promotion happening concurrent with the F36 GA. That also gives us some room to slip to the GA. Of course, I may be too pessimistic here (arguably, that’s my job).
My biggest concern with all of this is that it’s sustainable. When the team who puts it all together goes off to do other neat things, it needs to be easy for the rest of the community to make changes.
