More likely the fork would just die. Perhaps no fork would be required. RH could release tight control of Fedora for its own interest. Otherwise, I am afraid, RH is forcing Fedora into irrelevance. There is a need for an independent distro like Fedora (of a RH-like base) that can breathe, function, and be governed on its own, and define up front or acquire these important characteristics: - uncompromised adherence to UNIX-like principles of development (no chance of compromise here - a matter of writing it into its status) - identity of its own (yes, that means getting rid of the de facto "testing bed for RH" one) - being attractive to devs and users who would share the above UNIX-like goal - be modern but stable by choice (offer more recent kernel in comparison to RHEL/CentOS/SL, together with more thoughtful choice of software), which would fill in the current void in RH-like base of distros Such Fedora would actually be helpful to RH-like base among distros.
