Can Spins/SIGS or Fedora remixes change the code enough to meet their goals?

Background

In the present situation, Spins must take all of their content from the official Fedora repositories. Remixes may take content from wherever, and modify as they see fit, but may not use the primary Fedora trademarks.

Questions for Spins and the Spins SIG

Given the present situation:

  1. Has any Spin found the present situation unduly restrictive?
    1. If so, how specifically?
  2. Has any Spin found they cannot address their target audience properly?
    1. If so, in what way?
    2. Is the root problem that all packages must be in the official repositories?
  3. How are you addressing this today?
  4. How would you like to address this in the future?
  5. Are the resources you would need readily available?
    1. If not, what would you need to properly address this?
  6. Is the transition from "Spin" to "Remix" onerous?
    1. If so, what can be done to make it less so?
