Now I am not in the "told you so" department, but it unfolds as I expected.
Not much we can do now without harming either Fedora or Zarafa. Maybe Zarafa can think of renaming the open source edition just as fedora v RHEL?

I'm wondering if perhaps we should pull Zarafa's mention as a 'feature' of Fedora 13, or if not that, then certainly develop a more coherent story about its inclusion, what it's for, why it's in Fedora, and the whole 'open core' angle on it...
