Red Hat, on more than one occasion, has made the task of building
Fedora's credibility a huge challenge with their public statements. Max
did a great thing with slashdot, and that greatly helped the situation,
but more is needed. Red Hat needs the support of the community, and they
get that through Fedora. If any of you are fortunate enough to have a
role or influence in Red Hat's official stance on such issues, I feel it
is best that Red Hat starts presenting Fedora as more of a RHEL without
support and more cutting edge software, rather than as RHEL's demented
step-brother. This is of course all just my opinion, but this is what
Red Hat's stance often appears like to me as an outside observer. If you
know me, you know that I'm an avid promoter of Fedora, but having Red
Hat publically back such statements would make life easier for everyone.
Please note, that the intent of this message is in no way to discredit
Red Hat, nor do I wish to appear thankless for all that Red Hat has
done, I'm just trying to make the situation better.
That's pretty much right on spot. We are improving. We need to do
better. Can apply to Fedora on the whole too incidentally.
