I'm not sure I buy this argument. Who gets to say what use cases are
interesting to the Fedora Community? What if the next great window

Sure, maybe other "dm"s might not make it into the default Fedora spins,
but lets not start "strongly discouraging" people from writing new code
and putting it in Fedora.
