However in the rush to cloud/workstation, FEL spin no longer appears

Desktop spins can now be found at <http://spins.fedoraproject.org/>;,
and spins which focused on collections of software for a purpose - like
Electronic Lab - are now at <http://labs.fedoraproject.org/>;. However,
Electronic Lab is not. This isn't because it was kicked out or
anything: it's because no one who cared about it was around to made
sure it worked.
You may lambaste me for not posing this stuff as a question or even
just as a rant, but losing FEL was not good, and the other spins from
people who had solved the issues required to get a system to be a master
development station in an area of study were apparently thrown out with
the old bathwater so to speak. All of this is a sad loss for Fedora,
and even a cash loss to Redhat eventually if they go the same way.
No; nothing was thrown out. No one made it happen, so it didn't. If you
want to make it happen again, though, AWESOME.
