"Fedora 7 requires that the tools and documentation that make it as
simple as possible to spin a custom distribution, using packages in
Fedora as a base."

What would be additionally useful is an explicit mention of:

* What are the *cannot do* for the Custom Spins ? In terms of
trademarks, 3rd Party Repos, 3rd Party Applications, Branding etc
* A consistent messaging that the process of custom spins is not going
to be one-off need based stuff but will have some bits from blessing
from the Fedora Project Lead and those-who-matter
* If required/requested Custom Spins (valid as per point #1) would be
provided hosting infrastructure and their own their own subprojects
lock-step with Fedora (Core)

Going forward making a statement (if at all possible) that the Fedora
tree of binaries and source bits are stuff from which folks are welcome
to do spins (subject to clauses) and the Fedora project does its own
spins called "Fedora"
