Lose the veto power entirely and you have much less of that risk.  
FESCo doesn't have a single person with a veto power and we are relying
on a fully elected group and things are moving along just fine.   If the
board works on a consensus model just like now but without the veto
power, would things really be that different?

Others vendors are participating within Fedora already.  Multi vendor
open source communities are healthier than single vendor dominated ones.
