At some point you as an individual will be rolling your own packages or relying on a third party if the core needs to move on for others. Fedora is set up to accommodate this. As many distros have shown you can't be all things to all people. You can only stretch Fedora so far before it becomes something else, and starts to suffer in other ways. Should Red Hat be willing continue to devote resources longer than you are on a joint project? If this is a community project, relying on community contribution at some point is going to happen. --jeremy
