It might be the case that the NSA has their fingers in these ECC
standards.

Here's a Schneier article worth reading:
  <http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/05/nsa-how-to-remain-secure-surveillance>

In it, he recommends (among many other things):

    Prefer conventional discrete-log-based systems over elliptic-curve
    systems; the latter have constants that the NSA influences when
    they can.

It could be (by accident) that Fedora is more secure due to patents!
