The productization of Fedora was purportedly aimed at enabling the

to target user bases more specifically instead of trying to be everything
for everyone. The KDE folks have been refused Edition status at least
partially on the basis that Workstation is already the developer-targeting
product; meanwhile, the Workstation group seems to focus on content
creation and consumption, instead of technology development. I don't know
if there's a brand identity crisis, or if I'm just ignorant of the
Workstation goals, or have different connotations for terms like
'developer' and 'workstation', or....
At the risk of being tiresome, I'd like to reiterate that content
creation and consumption are not exclusive to non-developers. As has
been said many times, "developers are people too," and they engage in
many of the same activities as non-developers. The Workstation team
is not focusing exclusively on these common activities, but you can't
have an effective Workstation without them.
