I think that opens the gates a little too wide for what I want to do right now. We might want to consider that in the future (it’s true that community desire and engagement ultimately drive everything), but what I want to do right now is:
- Bring our policies minimally in line with what exists today, and
- Give ourselves the option of considering another desktop Edition.
Because we do treat Editions differently, there is a cost across the project to each edition. Quality, rel-eng, packagers, marketing, design, website, docs, Ask Fedora, and other teams are all asked to take on more. When a new Edition overlaps with an existing one (or changes to an Edition or in the world create an overlap between two existing Editions), that has a cost too. We want a family of Editions that support each other, not accidental zero-sum games.
I do like Ben’s elegant one-word change better than my exception text, though.
