That's fair. As I said, it was a Straw Man (something we could start from and get into shape).
seems to be something that could both always be met and never be met. [My autistic filters are very high today so if I am seeing something obvious I apologize.] Here is my straw man which I can better parse but realize it needs a lot of work or can be thrown away.
Fedora Server is the common base platform for tested service roles meeting the needs of old and cutting edge computing.
One thing I feel like this is missing is that part of our mission is to collaboratively develop this solution as well. I don't want to lose that distinction.
Maybe something like
"Fedora Server Edition provides a platform for the creation and deployment of assured service roles meeting the needs of both traditional and leading-edge computing."
(Yes, that is a mouthful...)
The goal of this is to say that we realize that our customer base for services are wanting things that fit older technologies but also cutting edge paradigms. They may want a print server (old technology) but working with newer style printers and configurations (docker for some reason) that a slower enterprise Linux isn't hitting. They may want an email server but also a microservice controller for IOT devices.
