I think the fact that we have a relatively large group of RHT
employees dedicated to Fedora infrastructure means that the need is
acknowledged. As to what that group considers core to their purpose I
think they largely decide on their own. Whether something is worthy of
expanding headcount is a different matter and I can't begin to
guesstimate.
The need to support Drupal is not acknowledged and that is the need I
would like to see addressed. It can be addressed by either expanding
headcount or reallocating existing human resources. I suspect the
latter is the better way to start but if existing resources are
unwilling to reallocate around the inclusion of Drupal I'm not very
optimistic about it ever getting off the ground in a long-term
sustainable way.
