I'd add to this, while the Fedora Project is something I hope non-Red-Hat people are excited about, it's not purely an effort to make people happy. It's intended to be a worthwhile project for Red Hat, for all its contributors, and for the target audience. The Fedora Project and also our architecture announcement today (http://www.redhat.com/software/architecture/) reflect a belief in the value of the open source approach. Havoc
