What's the advantage here vs. providing a "Python Classroom Lab" install
target
in GNOME Software that allows you to turn any Fedora Workstation installation
into a Classroom Lab?
1) The other two deliverables listed in the change proposal.
2) The ability to download an live iso and dd it to a flash drive, hand
it over to students and just works (i.e. also offline)
Is there a specific reason you do NOT want the things you listed
above?
Yes. Make it smaller - it's a classroom lab, so no need for stuff like
e-mail client.
