Well my main concern is exactly what you have stated "If RH decide Fedora should go away it would" in other words "You exist only because we allow you to exist" The former is a pretty strong statement the latter is my own interpretation of what you just stated. > We tried to turn Fedora into an independent legal entity with multiple > stakeholders and there was almost 0 support in terms of funding for it > (Google: Fedora Foundation).

Times change and people with it and I'm willing to put money were my mouth is. So let's separate the infrastructure to a neutral ground, let's find a good place to host the community on. I don't have much to spare but I'm willing to give it all I got it's not like I have not I've invested far to much of my time and other things in the project so far..
