I don't know why you're mentioning Fedora here.
Fedora is upstream from RHEL, not downstream. Fedora will not be
"consequently taken down" by this announcement or anything like it.
I mentioned Fedora there because it's the distribution of my choice. I
don't think there is any threat to Fedora. The community here is
fantastic and likely can run the project even if companies behind limit
their involvement.
RHEL downstream rebuilds and Fedora were great tools
in my toolbox. They complement each other, and I built all my projects
on top of them. Till recent changes, the OS choice has always been easy
for me.
Cheers,
