Essentially, the feedback you have been getting is very consistent

1) You are not mentioning free and open source software and people are worried that it implies that the project isn't going to focus on that
2) Desktop/laptop users are feeling left out

I understand the worry, but I think it's mostly because I took it for granted and didn't emphasize it in this message. The intention is for the core values, including Freedom, to be emphasized along with the mission statement.

That's okay. This isn't a marketing message for users. Desktop/laptop users will continue to be an important base served through Fedora Workstation and the desktop spins.
