I agree. In the end, though, people have to remember the human factor. 
i.e. When someone comes on here distro-shopping and says "Fedora sucks", 
it's not very productive to get into philosophical debates about Fedora 
and where it fits into the pipeline that eventually lands up with us 
getting this wonderful free Operating System. It just ends up in 
arguments, as we've seen. I guess I try to put philosophy and politics 
aside and empathize with the fact that the user may be (in a somewhat 
unsophisticated manner) simply approaching the distro choice from the 
standpoint of a user. Nothing more. And from their perspective Fedora was 
bad and CentOS was good. Regardless of whether Red Hat deserves credit for 
their work, that's their user experience. So it's best to just point them 
in the right direction and avoid the philosophical discussions.

In the end, those of us who are here and using CentOS and really 
appreciate it obviously appreciate the work Red Hat has done to even make 
this possible. And I'd like to think (as stated earlier) that Red Hat gets 
something in return. They get one more systems developer/integrator 
familiar with their product (roughly) and very pleased with it and likely 
to recommend it to people in the future.
