I can't see Fedora trying to make users pay for a support service like
that, especially when it's staffed by volunteers. While it would take
some resources, I don't think that it would be an extremely huge one. A
server or two and some dedicated bandwidth would do it I think (so that
downloads of Fedora Release N don't kill the quality of your VoIP
connections).
All of which cost RH money, and has various liability issues depending
on where it is housed.
