IIRC, one person vehemently detracted.  My biggest concern here is
getting a consistency across these documentation teams so we can work on
common upstream content together.  That is much more important than my
personal preference.

Maybe we want to start a discussion of hashing out the difference in our
style guides and making one common Fedora-based writing guide we can all
reference, adding project- or commercial-specific content when working
downstream.
