got into this to begin with (or most of us anyway). However, they are
never going to completely cover all cases. They are broad. They
project strength and conviction. They can't be worded to be future
proof because nobody can see the future. They are extremely important
guideposts on what Fedora is about, but they are not codifications of
allowed practices and situations.
If you start tweaking them or adding new ones to list out exceptions
and allowances and to address the latest computing fad, you weaken
their ability to act as those guideposts. They instead become case
law or listings, which leads to less common sense, more process, more
exceptions to be added, etc. They would become so lengthy and
complicated that nobody would read them.
I'm not saying adding additional Foundations or rewording the existing
ones should never be done, but I do think these specific items you
mention don't necessarily warrant it at this time.
