Thanks! 99.999998% of the code is Fedora so it's gotta be very good :-)

Hmmm! I understood that F-11 had a longer release cycle (with the
breaking and all, but also a slightly longer stabilization window) at
the expense of F-12.
I think I told you that at the SugarCamp in Paris, because at this
time, that's what the rumours were about:
http://lwn.net/Articles/306807/ (that's the link I had given you at
that time, specifically saying that it was only a guess)
The problem is that we (Fedora) have absolutely no way to know for
sure what the next RHEL will be based on: that's Red Hat's business.
So all we can do is try to guess, but depending on their own
constraints, business, clients, etc... the rumours often change as
time goes :)
If you want to know that for sure, you should ask Red Hat about it. ;)
The only reference I find of Fedora-12 perhaps becoming RHEL 6 is
this
http://lwn.net/Articles/348141/
Actually, I read that more as « RHEL 6 will be based on F13 or a
future version of Fedora ». But like Spot says, we can't draw any
conclusion.
