Which is why I think it would be in every ones best interest if all the RHEL clones ( even oracle ) would unite join our community maintain and support Fedora LTS release instead risk being bitten by any business decision Red Hat either willingly or be forced to make.
Community rebuilds of EL or Oracle don't have any interest in Fedora as such. They are interested in a product that provides binary compatibility with EL and Fedora LTS won't do that and if your goal is to protect yourself from Red Hat decisions entirely, using the Fedora brand isn't the ideal choice. More to the point, EL rebuilds are directly affected by whatever changes Red Hat does in EL and as long as they want to retain compatibility, they cannot isolate themselves from it and if they do, lose compatibility, the lose the raison d'etre. You can build a Fedora LTS which merely extends Fedora release by a few months or a couple of years with no goal of retaining EL compatibility and in that case, the community around EL rebuilds won't participate in it.
