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.

It is if you've suddenly changed your agenda to being a cloud-centric toady for Microsoft while infecting OSS with the likes of systemd.
So many of the ACs here are involved in a plot* to try to shift some of the systemd hate** towards the GPL***?
*Too centralised to be a conspiracy.
**Well deserved hatred.
***Haven't put my foil helmet on yet.
It's NOT a conspiracy... it's a plot.
