I wrote this yesterday on HN:

  In a word, no. It would be crazy for IBM to put at risk Red Hat's
  proven and highly profitable development model, and that all starts
  with Fedora.

Of course no one knows, and maybe IBM will kill Fedora, but I think
they would have to be especially stupid to do that and (despite what
you read) they are not stupid.
