Well, depends on what you mean. :) 

"Fedora" doesn't exist as a legal entity. All the hardware we manage is
owned by Red Hat (or donated for the projects use). We manage all the
servers we use, but those servers are in datacenters that we don't own
or manage. So, things like switches and firewall rules and upstream
connections are all managed by Red Hat's IT (and the datacenter itself). 

So, IMHO it would be helpfull to have some kind of inventory thing for
our servers that we do directly manage, but putting things like switches
or routers or other datacenter assets in it wouldnt make much sense to
me since we don't directly control those. 

Does that make sense?
