The problem I see with defining _a_ target audience is that it by
nature, precludes other audiences. We have to have at least some
part of the 'catch all audiences' thing going on, or we lose a segment
of our userbase to other distros which cater to their needs.
I don't think we should be too worried about losing a segment of our
user base". That is the beauty of the spin concept. You can have
kernel-hackers spin that is optimized for a different audience.
And the really big audiences are not part of our userbase at all yet,
anyway.
