Since the import of what I was trying to convey has been lost, no doubt due to my poor choice of words, I will restate the obvious: If the bulk of the developers working on Fedora use laptops as their platform then, inevitably, Fedora will become in essence a laptop distribution and RHEL will follow. Talking about the server community monitoring the Fedora development channel once every six months, or every day for that matter, is simply not going to change this.
But this isn't the case, so it's not really a very productive line of speculation. We _have_ a server community around Fedora, both developers and users.

This does not match history nor the current situation.
