I'm concerned about FESCo's decision to drop this feature for Fedora 12.
The more that I think about this, the more I agree with what Peter has
written above. I think that Moblin support in Fedora is something that
is useful to a wide audience of users, and that Peter has made every
effort to address the concerns raised by FESCo. I do not think it is
necessary for a spin to be made available to consider this a noteworthy
feature.

I've asked FESCo to reconsider the Moblin feature at their meeting on
Friday, and I hope they will reconsider their decision.
