I really can't agree with only three products doctrine forever. That's why
I personally call it multiple products initiative :). On the other hand I
completely agree with high bar pushed on products. So I don't expect we would
ever end with more than a few products - it's still manageable and it's the
message to the community - hey, we are still pretty much inclusive distro,
come and convince us, you can make it. We're Fedora, not Ubuntu - ask
Kubuntu guys for opinion :).
Also this high bar leads to another question - exactly opposite to the
escalation of spin to product. What if one of multiple products stops to
fulfil these high bar standards? I know, it does not make sense to have
policy for it now but it's just one piece of puzzle...
And believe me - during the release I wish we have only one product with one
package and one use case and one test. Life of many folks involved in
release would be much more happier :).

I agree with Jaroslav. I was looking forward to have a fourth product to
those three. KDE can help define what is needed for new product, what
must be done by all teams, how much work it will be ... I guess we
should speak more about addition of new product and don't kill the idea
at the start.
