Do you believe the Modularity objective is important to Fedora's success? Is there anything you wish to bring to the modularity efforts?
The Linux ecosystem of today is not the ecosystem of five years ago. Do you think Fedora should innovate further or "steady the boat" with the existing initiatives in the project? Why?
