Have we formally redefined it as such? I feel like either I've been
asleep and missed a lot (I don't think so?), people are having
discussions around these things in places that are harder to follow,
or people are making assumptions.
I'm not sure about formality, but it's effectively so due to the new
website design, which has
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/ "Alternative desktops for Fedora"
and
https://labs.fedoraproject.org/ "Functional bundles for Fedora"
Also, while not explicitly so, Atomic Host (more os-tree) is a
foundation for the work that Workstation is looking at as well. Which
is where some of my surprise comes from I guess. I thought we'd
finally have some cohesion between the Editions, at least at a
fundamentals level. That's still possible I guess.
Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily in confict. It basically ends up
being two separate Editions built on Atomic technology.

I don't see a need for a new logo. It's throwing out the well done
and now somewhat familiar branding work we've built up. However,
people like new pretty things so whatever.
Fortunately the
https://getfedora.org/static/images/cloud-logo.png logo
*does* work well for "container cluster" as well. It was designed with
the idea of scale-out computing.

I kind of think you want to stop calling them releases to be honest.
They aren't releases in the grand Fedora sense of the word. They're
bundled and focused updates (service packs?) of content within the
grand Fedora release cycle.
Sure, I'm open to another term.
