Fedora is drafting a new mission statement. The new initial proposal:
Fedora creates an innovative platform that lights up hardware, clouds, and containers for software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users.
The original goal was:
to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software.
Is saying open, or free, openly (excuse the pun) becoming something to be ashamed of? Are project ditching their ideals? Fedora barely mentioned free (or Free, to be more clear), but now it's even more vague. It's like if had to be reminded over and over to those in charge, as the triggered thread demostrates.

Programming in general, sure, but when we're talking about the finer points of compiling between different Unices I'd like to see some credentials or job experience or something to justify that "I couldn't get it to work" doesn't mean "I banged on it for an afternoon without knowing what I was doing."
For the record, I don't consider myself more than a notch or two above the latter. Definitely not a greybeard :)
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
