So, you're basically proving my point that this question should be
answered by the FESCo candidates...

What you basically state here is that you view the role of FESCo as
being required to always represent Fedora's needs in precedence to Red
Hat's needs. That is a *valid* position for someone to take. It is,
however, not the position that all potential candidates might take.
Which is why it is a fascinating and highly-relevant question to ask
them.
