I've seen Rahul and others fight this very hard around the web, OSNews being a primary source of many of those kinds of comments. So having language like that on what appears as official documentation is just feeding trolls in an unnecessary manner and does hurt the project. I don't really see what Red Hat would gain from such a statement either, it's not like changing it to be more neutral would lessen their influence on the direction of the project. They are after all currently half the board and most of the developers. Not that it exactly reads out as "be the RHEL beta" unless you are already looking for that kind of wording. It is however a but unfortunate on the whole. How about changing it to e.g.: 13. Form the basis for derived distributions This would also cover OLPC and the many other project that rely on Fedora as a base. We are versetile project and we should encourage as many vendors as are willing to work with us to buy in, not just Red Hat, so long as they can build their products on Fedora I expect they are happy for any help and testing anyone can provide as would anyone. - David Nielsen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
