Sure, I didn't mean that it is not a belief, but that it shouldn't be 
violated solely because it is a belief. Indeed it becomes a norm within 
fedora when it is in the fedora goal. The norm should be respected, or 
changed. And once a norm is edicted it should become as technical 
(objective?) as possible to check whether it is respected or not.
