  * We will go through the list individually  (sgallagh, 20:11:46)

* Fedora Server has too short a lifecycle  (sgallagh, 20:12:01)
  * The core problem that people want to solve generally is "I don't
    want my applications to break, because I rely on them"  (sgallagh,
    20:14:16)
  * Rephrased: Core problem is "I want to be able to keep my system
    up-to-date wrt bug and security fixes without my applications
    breaking"  (sgallagh, 20:16:35)
  * Users automatically assume that the classic solution to this problem
    is the only one: longer compatibility lifecycle for the whole OS.
    (sgallagh, 20:17:34)
  * Fedora Server attempts to solve the core problem with Modules and
    reliable OS release upgrades.  (sgallagh, 20:18:25)
  * Enhancement proposal: automatically upgrade when release is EOL
    (sgallagh, 20:22:03)
  * Enhancement proposal supplement: Cockpit UI for scheduling the
    automatic update after EOL  (sgallagh, 20:23:11)

* Fedora Server should be more minimalistic  (sgallagh, 20:27:38)
  * This topic is really easy to get rat-holed on. Will revisit later.
    (sgallagh, 20:40:44)

* SELinux needs better usability  (sgallagh, 20:40:52)
  * Cockpit SELinux Troubleshooter improvements would be ideal for this
    (sgallagh, 20:43:59)

* Support OpenCL  (sgallagh, 20:46:42)
  * This task would require specialized expertise that isn't readily
    available  (sgallagh, 20:48:40)

* Easy "home media server"  (sgallagh, 20:48:56)

* Server Focus  (sgallagh, 20:55:07)
