The question, I think, is how much we want to prioritize the "Workstation experience" on older hardware (or on devices like the Baytrail tablets). When Owen tested this a year or so ago, the memory savings on 32-bit in Workstation were very significant, such that — kernel bugs aside — is clearly advantageous for systems with less than 3GB of RAM (and probably all the way up to 4GB). I think it's perfectly fine for Workstation to acknowledge this and move on anyway — for those cases, there *is* more to Fedora, after all, and it may be that an overall-lightweight desktop environment is a better choice, and that's fine. The whole idea here is that any one product/edition/flavor/spin *doesn't* have to be all things to all people. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
