You've nailed it, this is a slogan for english computer jargon speakers.
In other words a slogan for hardcore technophiles. I don't think we want
to restrict our audience to hardcore technophiles (at least one of our
major derivatives, OLPC, doesn't)
The English-language/translation thing is a bit troubling. But I'm pretty
comfortable with saying that Fedora's *core* market is technophiles. If we
want it to be something else, we need to change some of Fedora's key design
decisions -- particularly, the upgrade-yearly lifespan.
