i think the better way would be to explain what relevance FEL has, to David.

while some the arguments for spins maybe are valid and the work on the spins 
pages is absolut great, i do not think that marketing has understand the 
relevance of fel  - this is not just a spin, it is something really unique in 
Fedora - no other Distribution has something mature like this related to 
electronics. Chitlesh and the fel gang could go the easy way by just making a 
remix with strange licences - but they work hard with the electronics 
industrie to convince them to change licences to have it in fel or even become 
contributors. It has also Ambassador Relevance - i could hire some of the most 
brilliant contributors through fel, they came as normal software-, computer 
enthusiasts and were more than happy i introduced fel to them - so i suggest 
put it back - this has general relevance in some parts of the world!
