Oh, I did not get the direct relation of the 20 examples and your claim about Red Hat not investing into Fedora, sorry. > I'm sorry, I cannot give you numbers as Red Hat does not publish them. Right. That is why saying that Red Hat does not invest more into Fedora than two years or four years ago is what? A wild guess? > For the manpower know that 2 of 4 regions no longer have a paid Fedora > community architect. Red Hat at the same time hired dozens of new engineers, working in development and quality assurance, thus pushing Fedora as a leading Linux distribution. Which by the way differentiates Red Hat from other community distribution "sponsors". I am not saying that I personally would not wish having full-time Fedora Community Architects in other regions as well. For sure I would love to see more people paid for just taking care of community stuff. But we should also not forget that fighting for such kind of job in terms of realizing a budget for it, is not the easiest job either. Because translating the value of that work is quite difficult. Maybe comparable to making an argument about why it is so important to invest in marketing. It is just (more) difficult to measure.
