I just hope that Fedora does not become one of those garage distributions.

Are there any .rpm-based distros that would make a good replacement for

Heartbroken in the world of Open Source.

Wonderfully stated.  The announcement took my breath away.  I hope
Fedora gets spun off.
Unlike the IBM of today, Redhat was not really your average capitalist enterprise so they supported Fedora. They had a long view which is not permitted by markets.....In any case, I doubt that Fedora or OSS is an example of any kind of capitalism. A good place to start looking for that would be Somalia.
