That's not quite right - a Remix *does* require debranding, but you may
use the Remix "Secondary Mark" instead (see the mention of the trademark
guidelines on the page linked above).

* Remix: can include non-Fedora packages, even non-open-source packages;
can use the Secondary mark; must not use the Fedora trademark; does not
require any approvals.

* Spin: includes only Fedora packages; uses the Fedora trademark;
requires approval from the Spins SIG.

At a basic level, debranding is pretty easy: just remove the
fedora-{logos,release,release-notes} packages and replace them with
something appropriate to your Remix. Alternately, get the pieces you
need into Fedora itself (which is straightforward if the licenses are
OSI-approved) and then (optionally) make a Spin. We'd love to have A10
support in the main Fedora ARM kernel package :-)
