This sounds really neat. I'm not in the target audience myself (I don't use Fedora, and I'm more comfortable with a terminal than a GUI these days).
One thing that will be needed is to survey what sort of issues are common for the intented target audience to experience. And like the image in the article shows, it is going to be a moving target, as the software stack evolves. So constant maintenance and development will be needed.
The only booting issues I tend to run into myself these days are occasionally on new installs with improper grub config, fstab, mdraid, crypttab or similar. And I have always been doing something not supported by the official installer of the distro in question when it happened. Or installing a "manual" distro like Gentoo or Arch.
I don't remember the last time I had to debug booting issues with a Linux install that wasn't a brand new one. That definitely happened back in the early days though (2004 or so for me).
Finally, I hope they can make something that is modular so it isn't too Fedora specific. Would be nice if other distros can adapt it (with some modules replaced as needed of course).
