I'm not saying you guys aren't. I'm just wondering if it's written in a guideline somewhere or if each person has to come up with the same realization each and every time. If there's something to show people who might be interested in Fedora why they would want to use Fedora (because the people working on it are smart cookies based on what they've said they're doing).
Introduction of a virtual provides or other mechanims..requires discussion.. because it impacts multiple package maintainers. It's case by case.
But it might not be so bad an idea to write a little glowy piece of prose describing how virtual provides are being used right now, to help people interested in re-spinning appreciate there is more modularization at the packaging level than the packaging list of default install of Fedora would suggest. Until you go poking at it, you may not know its there.
