The spins concept splits the community into small fiefdoms and creates
unnecessary divisions.

I've seen mails on this list recently where people proudly stated that

regardless what the official Fedora products are. If that is how we
advertise 'Fedora', it is not really a surprise that our users are
unclear about what it really is...
