I think that Red Hat and Fedora sponsoring a portion or even all of the
effort is fine, and giving credit where credit is due is fine. But naming
the effort after only one of the distributions is slapping people in the face.
This, however, is the last I will say about it.

Jon,
My understanding is that some people at Fedora wanted to start this
list specifically to talk about what Fedora could do to work more
closely with K12LTSP. As tends to happen with these things
(especially on new lists), the conversation has veered off into a
different direction than might have been intended, that is, a broader
discussion about advocacy.
So yes, if some ideas for broader intitiatives come out of this
impromptu thread, they'll probably be implemented on some more neutral
ground. I think everyone here is on the same page, although the guys
at Fedora may be wondering how their new list got pulled off topic so
quickly ;-)
And I certainly appreciate your input. I'm sure we all do.
