Besides that, a policy: what (generic) groups of softwares will be distributed inside Fedora Core (for instance, that may be a policy of Fedora not distributing games/entreteirment). The policy may also include cases for obsolecence and unsuported packages and for things that are under development by the community.

I see people lobbying for several different usage cases but I don't see a clear defined set of usage cases that Core is suppose to fulfill by itself. 'General Purpose' is too vague. I think Core needs to back up and define one or two specific usage cases and target those.. and move out applications and technologies that do not fit into the primary usage situations. Core right now is a compromise that suits pretty much everyone equally badly. And while thats an admirable feat, its doesn't give a clear guiding perspective for the future .
