And other distributions which pride themselves on being a community
project haven't considered  a livecd important and have in fact waited
for someone else to do it somewhere else.

Or has Debian, the gold standard in community driven linux
distribution, become irrelevant in your opinion?

Lets all remember kids that knoppix was not part of any official
debian initiative and is not formally a part of the debian project at
this very moment in time. It along with all the other Debain based
livecd's are in fact seperately maintained  offshoot projects that
live outside of the formal Debian project structure. And there is
absolutely nothing wrong with that.  In fact there are a lot of Debian
offshoots which are not formally a part of Debian, which are popular
and make up a large Debian-based ecosystem. Ubuntu itself is actually
an offshoot of Debian which leverages the work done by larger
community of Debian contributors, but isn't formally a part of the
Debian project.

I really don't see why its not acceptible for Fedora to have a similar
ecosystem of competing projects which feedback ideas across the
ecyosystem over time.. that spreads the development workload around
among community members who are willing to suck it up and get the work
done to meet specific needs... instead of idly complaining about the
allocation of Core's finite resources to satify everyone's infinitely
diverse desires.
