I think we have different definitions of community. There's definitely
a Fedora community, but no fedora-users, or fedora-games,
fedora-libguestfs, etc.; those are *mailing lists*.

Balkanizing communities based on which mailing lists the people are
subscribed sounds to me like a stupid idea. It's in Fedora's best
interest to have a community as unified as possible.

Or to put it another perspective; I think we only loose if
fedora-devel ppl say: oh, you are from fedora-games, you don't belong
here, we don't care about what you have to say.
