This is in the list headers:

   "Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora."

To me "encouragement" implies that there will be a future full of users 
of various needs and wants that should be welcomed to try to make 
whatever it is work for them.  Who knows what new branch may grow 
because of some OT questioner that happens to be a Fedoran explorer?

Hope it's Friday where you're at.  If I ever meet you the next pint is 
on me.
