Fedora Changing its Project Mission

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.

    Argh, get away! I know you thieves want to steal my laptop and steal my pills, just like you did to Richard Stallman in Argentina!! Oh I've just thought of a wonderfully elegant data structure to use for my latest project. I'm the smartest coder alive. Damn it, someone stole my pills while I was typing! No no they fell on the floor. Stop gaslighting me, gravity!!! The universe hates me.
