Red Hat is to be
commended. But they also need to be wary of any major issues with Fedora
as the trade rags do associate Red Hat and Fedora and it will reflect on
them. Just another angle to look at.
Oh, you are entirely correct. Red Hat does need to be careful that people
don't see a bug in Fedora and jump straight to "Red Hat makes unstable
software!" which some trade rags, some clueless pundits, and more than a
few dumbass users will. Perception is a good part of reality.
I agree with you... I just vehemently disagree with those who claim that
because FC is associated with and sponsored by RH, then it is by definition
a *product* of RH and why can't we see that... I'm sure you know what I mean.
