It's not as easy as that. Currently, SoaS *is* a separate distro. It 
doesn't affiliate itself anyhow with Fedora branding-wise. It uses 
Fedora as a base system, but it doesn't get promoted as the "Fedora 
Sugar Spin". However, this could change *if* the way to go was to have a 
ton of different distributions competing for the brand's name.

The point some people have been making is that the underlying 
distribution is *entirely* different. I've supported that, stating that 
SoaS was much more than just a Fedora Remix. But I'm not sure whether 
that's feasible, depending on the outcome of this discussion.
