I started to review the guide and realized, like many others, that
one
chapter or section is not included. That one is an address to the reader.
Should a brief paragraph not be included that stipulates what knowledge
and skills
the reader is recommended to have?
Should there be a very short set of references for the reader, to
where
he could rapidly and in a general level, obtain said knowledge and skills?

This sounds like a path to scope creep to me, and something akin to "You
must be at least this experienced with Fedora to install Fedora" would be
off-putting. The more complex sections, ie kickstart, are already marked
as such.
We have been discussing targeting archetypal personas with future
documentation, and representing the skill/complexity/experience level
required in an unobtrusive way. I'll pass this on to the list for
comment. You should also review the list archives for discussions about
personas, and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Focus .
On the last point, helping readers gain required skills and knowledge -
that's what we're all about :) Contributions welcome!
