So as I stated before and which also the PRD stated, we do hope that
the workstation becomes a solid and nice desktop that a lot of people
can like and want to use, because at the end of the day all users,
developer or others, want the same baseline, a stable and well working
system. But I think the crucial thing here is that the goal of the new
products is not to just be the traditional Fedora packaging effort,
but to be actual development targets where at least Red Hat plans to
put paid time on developing these features. And thus putting in
'general users' as a usecase doesn't make sense to me here, because as
much as we all here would love to see 2014 be the year of the linux
desktop, that is very unlikely to happen just because we general users
it in the PRD.
The aim of the PRD is to describe the product that we are developing. It
is a requirement that the product we develop be usable as a general
purpose desktop, as otherwise aproximately nobody is going to use it.
Therefore, the PRD must discuss the requirements of a usable general
purpose desktop.
