Actually I think Fedora *should* articulate who the users are, basically design and express who and what Fedora is designed for. If you poll "users" - people who download Fedora - and cater to their stated desires for the sake of market share, then market forces will start to drive the shape of the distro. Populist market forces would tend to force everything to a gray mushy mass of similar distros. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotelling%27s_law). I think it would be much better for Fedora to decide what it *should* be, specifically what the Fedora userspace should be, and excel at that. Don't follow the "market" or worry about being the most popular distro (unless that's really a goal ..?) Decide the niche, and be strong in that niche.
