The fedora project until recently did not have any employees dedicated to QA. Now we have Will Woods, who's major goal is to grow a community around QA. This community should be focused on ALL fedora packages, not just Core packages. Getting the package out of the hands of somebody who doesn't really care about it, was just assigned the package, and into the hands of somebody who actually cares about it can only improve the quality IMHO. > - The relation between FC and RHEL.

RHEL is built from a FC base, that is no mystery. However there is no reason why RHEL packages can't come from Extras. RHEL really is a snapshot and as such a package version from Extras can be imported in, and then bugfixes and security fixes backported to that version. Getting the package in much better shape in Extras before it is time to build a RHEL only improves the quality of the package in RHEL. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
