Oh sweet a conspiracy theory
Not really.
"A conspiracy theory explains an event as being the result of an alleged plot by a covert group or organization or, more broadly, the idea that important political, social or economic events are the products of secret plots that are largely unknown to the general public."
Its no secret that Fedora is a development prototype that results in a commercial product, this was once clearly clarified (although clarification was not necessary) to me by the last FPL, believing that it's core purpose is anything other than this is simply an ideal.
Is it more than this? sure, if you want to believe that. If you want to believe that it is a Utopian development community where everybody's efforts are toward the greater FOSS ideal, then go for it, but try not to denounce someone else's realism as being "conspiracy theory" when the reality is, its perfectly accurate.
Although this may upset you, as people tend to cling tightly to their ideals, the "community" aspect is just something that helps you to sleep at night after donating your time and resource to building this prototype.
The by-product of many people donating their own personal time to such a project is, they start to communicate between themselves..perhaps even make friends/enemies. In fact, Oxford dictionaries define community as:
"the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common"
The common interest here is to assist in the development of a linux based distribution, which will ultimately form the mold from which the latest RHEL will be cast.

Having witnessed the discussion which led to this ticket, I'm fairly sure that FranciscoD is referring (at least in part) to BobJensen.
