This line is mentioned 3-4 times "with an initial “Red Hat Central” page containing the latest and greatest Red Hat developer news" which I do not see as anything but Red Hat Central as it is today is shown to show news and getting started content.

Ok, maybe I overinterpreted it, but it seemed like as it is listed as a User Experience, the idea was to change our current slim and efficient Central to something that is more focused in providing news to users, which is IMO not right for an IDE.
If this is about keeping Central as it with a single line of news, fine; if it's to show first and foremost news when user start IDE rather than anything else, then my concerns are still there.
