This section should very accurately describe why this Spin is useful, in order to justify the use of time, disk space and bandwidth of which the Fedora Project has limited amounts (especially as far as the time is concerned, composing XX spins because the kernel changes right before GA, having them pass QA, onto the torrent boxes). -->
